Our Place

It is so nice to have a wife like Gail.  Her heritage says everything always has to be clean and she has the energy and mentality to make it so.  When we arrived at our condo, she had to make sure the kitchen was hospital clean.

 

She also want to make sure we keep everything clean and "unused".  So she covers the couch with a sheet so it doesn't get us dirty and we don't get it dirty.

They tell us the water here is much better than it used to be but suggest we still do not drink it.  The condo has a water dispenser and it only costs $2 for a five gallon jug and they deliver it--not too bad. 

However, we have our own purifier that we make water for ice cubes (lots of those), coffee, brushing teeth, etc.

 

 

 

 

This picture is our laundry room.  We have a cloths washer but dry the cloths on the cloths line.  Speaking of water, this is our water heater.

 

There is a switch on the wall to turn it on and off.  We only turn it on when we want to do dishes or take a shower.  Electricity is expensive here so we want to conserve as much as we can.

 

We have to be careful taking a shower.

As you can see there is only half a shower wall.  The shower head is way up high and the tile on the back wall and end wall slope toward the tub.  However, this slope merely makes all of the water run on to the floor.  Fortunately, there is a drain in the floor also.  The first time we took a shower we spent a lot of time squeegeeing the floor.  Now, we only use a little water pressure, use the hand held shower head, and turn the water off when we are not rinsing off.

The sinks do not have stopper so when I shave I get a bowl of water, heat it in the microwave, and place it in the sink--works great.

The shelves you see were in the hall but we turned them up side down so they would fit over the towel bar and now use them for storage. 

Life is good!
