MY house :)

After almost three months of living in my own house, it's starting to come together very nicely... I was lucky to find a house that was fully furnished and in good shape. What happened was the owners of my house all moved to Spain to work, and they had to leave the majority of their stuff behind, but a lot of their family was worrying about their house because it was "solito" with nobody to take care of it. The climate, bugs and little creatures in Paraguay quickly invade and start to permanently damage the houses here and it's a lot better situation for the owners if they have someone to take care of the house, especially someone responsible like me :)

So I ended up talking to the owner's sister and she was very happy to let me live here, for FREE! well, I do pay for water, electricity and for lawn maintenance...but it comes out to 25 bucks a month. When I first moved in there were lots of frogs and lizards and spiders and all that good stuff, but now they are slowly moving out, but I still have a good many...but it's kind of inevitable.

Anywho, it still kind of looks like "grandmas house" considering all the furniture and pictures are still up from the family that lived here haha, but i am starting to put a few of my own touches to the place that is making it feel a little more like my own.

The part of my house that I'm the most proud of right now, is actually in my backyard. Me and two friends in the span of two hours made a compost pile out of bamboo and a type of metal wire (alambre in spanish). I hope that it will turn into some good soil in the next couple months to start my garden when it starts to cool down!


My Bedroom (Everyone is jealous of my floors!)

Living room/Dining room --The most grandma of it all...

An eclectic mix of my things and those left by the family..The plastic fruit and the picture of the last supper is theirs, and I added the books, flashlights and med kit haha (and some pics of the fam)



I have a nice bathroom, and one of the only shower curtains I've seen in the country! (I'm so spoiled)

Kitchen, with some nice new appliances and a semi-wash machine that makes your clothes smell better but doesn't actually clean them haha, but I use it anyways, but usually after a little handwashing..

My pride and joy-my compost pile! before I cleaned it up and filled it up! ...too bad I never got to get to the garden part...maybe next year?
