I live in a block of ten-house. The facade of the building is virtually no different from the thousands of similar standard buildings forming "bedroom" neighborhoods. House walls are lined with two-colored tiles in a checkerboard pattern: plitochki brown plitochki cream - a real chess board. In our house, two entrances, if we consider that in every section forty apartments, you can easily calculate that in our house there are about eighty different families. It is the people who live in our house, make it different from all the others.
Our house was built just over ten years ago, during the economic downturn and instability. The builders had to build a wall, bring plumbing, do some finishing work inside the premises. I remember how my parents were outraged by getting a long-awaited flat: the linoleum in the hall and in the kitchen like a desert landscape. And it was not even a dirty yellow hue flooring - the entire surface, as if after a sandstorm, was a cluster of hills. The window in the bedroom resolutely did not want to close. Instead of joy and celebration housewarming parents had to roll up their sleeves to fix flaws professionals.
View from the window was also pretty dull - piles of debris, "trenches", created powerful excavators in the war for civilization joy (heating, hot and cold water). For a long time, the kids were playing happily, jumping over ditches, dikes, and parents "thanks" to the creators of such a beautiful playground. But I have said that in our house live amazing people. At a meeting of the residents, it was decided to change the status quo. Was announced Saturday. Everyone from young to old, in his work clothes, went to the house adjacent to ennoble territory. The first trees were planted, broke a few beds. This moment was touching and memorable. In my hands was a thin birch with soft and pale green leaves. It seemed a tree, it is left unattended and care, will die soon. Not without trepidation, I returned to his land: gently smoothed the finest roots, covered them fertile black soil, watered every other day. Now, years later, I realized that my work was not in vain. Tree grown in the spring of thin twigs decorated earrings, and my heart is growing every year pride. In the shadow of his green friend I can hide from the midday sun.
Further actions require additional investment. No one was generous, the money was collected in time. Financial risk was soon well justified joyful laughter of children, came into possession of a fantastic town. Imagination working, constructing town knew no bounds, but some limit the available capital at their disposal, and material.
The town is surrounded by strong walls. The length of them, of course, can not be compared with the length of Great Wall of China, but the walls of our city - the perfect defensive cover. Advantages of these solid walls can be especially appreciated in the winter while playing in the snow. In the center of town is full of children's various attractions.
Nearby are basketball and football grounds. Of course, these sports facilities are far from perfect: on the football field, for example, there is no grass cover. But we are actively involved in their construction, so the victory on a platform built by his own hands, bringing double pleasure.
All our neighbors are very friendly, welcoming. We are confident that will not stay alone with their problems. We recently went on holiday as a family. When we arrived, they were amazed - in the kitchen, new wallpaper. Changes in the interior of the grandmother explained that we have entrusted to protect our uncomplicated goodness. It was found that during our absence the neighbors upstairs forgot to close the tap - kitchen badly damaged. In order not to disappoint us, the neighbors made repair. According to the accounts of residents of other home, I know very well that this is not always the case. Usually the perpetrators of trouble trying by all means to avoid responsibility.
Solved in our house and the problem of walking animals. The hosts are very carefully watching their pets walking around, so the green lawns and sandboxes no trace of life of good dogs and affectionate cats.
I am very glad that I live in such a beautiful home, I am surrounded by kind and friendly neighbors, and what you wish with all my heart.
