New House

We bought a house. Registration was done on the 28th of May 2009. Its a nice house, single storied. We moved in on the 29th of July. It was difficult leaving the house where we had been staying for over five years now. It was almost like our own. I never thought buying a house or making one really. But any way it has materialized. The hosue isn't very old either. It was built in the year 2004. The previous owner had to sell it for financial reasons. There are two bed rooms, one sitting room, one passage which can be used as a dining room as well, one kitchen and two toilets. Now, we have been able to complete the second storey. In the seond storey the first bedroom extends upto the verandah. The room is quite big now. I have made a balcony. There are three bed rooms in the second storey, one kitchen-cum-dining room and two toilets. The white toilet is quite big. There is also a bath tub. The pink toilet is bigger thant he toilets in the ground floor. Above the first bed room there is one more room of the equal size. There is no mezzanine floor but I have been able to make another room in the third storey by the side the big room which is functoning as my library.
The problem with this house is that when we open the windows we can see inside the houses of our neighbours and can chat with them easily. There is hardly any privacy that way. You have to keep your voice really low. Another porblem is I can never keep my car any where near my house. But of course for the first time the scooter can be kept at home.
In the terrace outside the parapet wall I have made a drain-like structure where we have started a garden.  In this drain there are two water pipes with a lot of holes in them which work as an irrigation system. There were to half pillars on the terrace on which I have made two tables with electrical connections for fan, light and mosquito repellants. There is also another terrace where we have the water tank.
