Some of you have seen the pictures we posted on Facebook while trying to decide where to live. We saw some very interesting houses and a bunch of apartments. Here are pictures of the most interesting...
This place is a house that has an awesome landscaped yard that is shared with the house next door. Unfortunately, it is also close to a pig farm, which was one of the reasons we decided not to go with it. :(
By far the most interesting place we saw, this next house had some, um, unique features. First up is the "pool" filled with rainwater.
The next unique feature of this house was the tree growing through the "living room." Right. Real dirt and plants behind the retaining wall up past the television, too. Probably only a good idea if you're making a theme restaurant.
Have you ever been to a house that looks like it was built over time, without much planning, and without any regard to building codes? That would be this house. It had strange spaces and little lofts everywhere.
Last but not least, the place we picked. It's an apartment on the 14th floor of a pretty new apartment complex. These photos were taken before we moved in--I'll take more sometime soon.
Because we're on the 14th (the top) floor, we get an extra high ceiling, an attic-type space, and a rooftop patio. It's pretty--but it turns out it's pretty hard to air condition this big of a space with one unit.

The Kitchen.
The glass room that is now our classroom.
The stairs up to the attic/roof.
These are pictures of how they move your things up to the 14th floor. There is a truck with a special lift on it that goes right up to your apartment window and moves boxes (and sometimes the movers) up and down on a platform. Scary! But interesting. I wish we had gone downstairs to take pictures from ground level.
If you look really close, I think that reddish speck down there to the left of the lift is one of the movers.
Some of our things having reached the top.
And, last but not least, our van, complete with a shiny Korean tiger sticker:
Our kids think it's the coolest.
