So Susan and I went and got an apartment. She is still in Indiana until her lease is up August 1st, so I get two months of Bachelor Pad Living! Here are a few pictures that I took while making chili yesterday.

that apartment looks BEAUTIFUL!! I'm so psyched for you and Suz :)

You realize waht this means, right? You and Susan are now the mandatory hosts of all Albany parties when we're in town ;)

[chpmmttn]

that's what the big cast iron pan is for, to chase all of you away when you won't leave. :)

i say let the parties begin, and everybody stays as long as they want! ;)

maybe we should take all the couches and beds that we can fit in there. I think if we took cat's bed and both big couches we could comfotably sleep four guests.

charge $25 bucks each and i think we'll do pretty well. maybe we could install a vending machine with toothpaste and stuff in it.

I measured out the couches on the floor and it appears that they would fit.

This isn't exact, but i think it would work something like this...

[jegambade]

wow! is all of that to scale?

i thought you wanted to put the couch against the wall and have the love seat in the middle of the room - would that work?

and will they fit through the doors?

[chpmmttn]

it's roughly to scale. if i feel really motivated i might redo with the right scale.

They could be switched, but then I think they would overlap a bit. I was checking that out this morning, but I can't remember exactly how it worked out.

[chpmmttn]

oh, and i don't know if they will fit through the door. The front doors shouldn't be a problem if both sets of doors open completely, but our door might be too narrow. i'll need to check it out.

yeah, i like that better. there are two ways to go through the room, and it feels like there's more room when you enter the apartment. what do you think?

[chpmmttn]

I don't like how the seating area on the couch and the love seat overlap. although it would be a good place to put your feet...

In the original diagram i think that there would be enough room to pass between them, just not alot. Remember that the couches are lower than waist high, so you could get by comfortably with about 11 inches of clearance.

[jegambade]

also, we could get a little bit more room for walking through the living room by moving the couch towards the windows a little bit... it would be on the rug a little, but i think that would be fine. what do you think?

is there room on the wall with the windows for shelves, or do the windows, love seat, and tv fill up the whole space?

[chpmmttn]

yeah, we should be able to move them onto the rugs a little. I measured them at their widest points, so the feet of the couches are in a little.

I don't think that there would be room for shelves there.
