Might be getting one on the 17th floor, I like the view but dunno what its like to live in one for more than a weekend.
So if anyone has any ups and downs on them share them. |

We live in the top flat of our building (above a bank  ) ok it's only the 4th floor but pain in the ass when you forget something whilst working on the car
Oh and moving in was compical, lugging the cooker/fridgefreezer/sofa/bed/wardrobe etc up all the stairs |

Well sadly my other and significantly better other half doesn't want the house and her view is backed up by others (you know them i.e. women).
Also I need to be somewhere else so I can't sign for it.
The area was a bit bad and after going up last night and walking down the stairs (from the 17th floor) the blood on the stairs and the burn marks from junkies shooting up on the walls put her off big style, didn't bother me but I would get into trouble for clearing out the junkie element.
So sadly no very picturesque view for me. I wish I had taken the camera and just clicked away out of the windows.
Ahh well.
As for the moving in, the lifts are tiny, 3 people and its squeeze so humphing lots of gear up blood stained stairs isn't my idea of fun either. Hopefully next time eh!. |

ooooh a dono if i could live 17 floors up, dont u think it'll be an absolute nightmare especially in the event of lift faliure  in sayin that though i knew a guy that lived on the 13 floor of the callender flats in falkirk and he got absolutely no visitors ever ever not even debt collectors or rozzers, the lifts never worked and unless you lived there there was no way you were going to walk the 300 odd stairs to the 13th floor he grew to quite like it if i remember correctly in fact i havent seen him since he moved in there. |
