The Grand Entrance

We pay a lot of money for our temporary apartment. From a distance, the complex looks fabulous. With a bit more scrutiny, you are able to see its numerous flaws. One flaw we have been living with is our cracked front stoop. The soils beneath it have experienced a great deal of shifting.

In addition to the heaving concrete stoop, pigeons hang out two floors up and use the stoop for, well, their business. Last Friday, the management decided to do something about the stoop. When we came home on Friday, we found this.


You know it is bad when this is considered a vast improvement. I can't wait for the grand unveiling this week. I wonder if we will get to cut a ribbon or something.
