My apartment
Yesterday I had the first opportunity to see my apartment, which is still under construction but hopefully getting near completion. I made some photos and posted them here.
The building was full of work as we entered, and it still looked far from being ready to be handed over, even though it is already much delayed. The investor is not experienced with the city’s bureaucracy, and is also having difficulty with sub-contractor management.
The apartment itself, however, gave no reason to complain. The walls were straight and smooth; electricity plugs were in place and windows seemed flawlessly mounted. The overall image made detailed measurements that I planned seem unnecessary, so I focused on taking photos instead.
I stepped out to the balcony (carefully, no hedge yet), looked outside - the day was very cold, but the sky was clear, and the sun was still high. The “apartment - mortgage - have to earn - bigger apartment - bigger mortgage - …” trap came to my mind; everybody is aware of it, yet only few are able to get out of the cycle.
