Our apartment

My desk and 'living room' area

Our kitchen/bedroom

Caleb's desk and bookshelf

Loft-where Caleb sleeps. I sawed, planed, sanded, and nailed some timbers and extended up the railing so that Caleb won't fall over it. It looks ugly but I think it's functional. Our bed is right underneath the loft, and the stove is behind the camera.

This is the original faucet that came with the apartment. The knob is actually just a screw that opens and closes the water pipe underneath. Caleb had a hard time turning it, and I had a hard time fitting my hands underneath the spout.

So I biked into town, looked for a shop, bought this new faucet for 75,000, brought it home, borrowed a pair of pliers from our teammate, and installed it. It works better now.

We've moved into our little 'apartment' on campus a little over two weeks now. All the major cleaning and fixing are done, and we're starting to feel a bit more settled in. We have been very blessed by the availability of internet connection, good food, and, most of all, electricity and water. We have not lost electricity at all the past two weeks, which, we hear, is very unusual. So, we're certainly not complaining. Here are some pictures of our dwelling two weeks after.
