New House Tour: Security Concerns and Quirky Features

Initial Security Concerns

• ⚠️ The new house has significant security features that raise concerns, including steel bars on all windows and two front doors, each with multiple locks.
• 🚪 One of the front doors is equipped with a doorade, a feature the speaker has never encountered in person and questions the necessity of.
• ❓ The extensive security measures lead to questions about the neighborhood's safety and whether the speaker is overreacting.

House Tour and Features

• 🏠 The house is a four-bedroom, two-bathroom property costing $7,500 per month in Los Angeles.
• 🛋️ The living room features a fireplace, a desk setup, and ample space, though still filled with moving boxes.
• 🍽️ The dining room will use the speaker's existing table, while the kitchen has unique design choices inspired by Pink Berry, including retail-style shelving and commercial-grade stools.
• 🍳 Quirks in the kitchen include a low-mounted oven/microwave combo and a tall cupboard without shelves.

Interior Spaces and Amenities

• 🏢 The first bedroom is designated as the speaker's office, with a dual-mirror closet and potential need to black out a window for filming.
• 💻 Another bedroom serves as Mel's office, featuring her 3D printing business and a PC the speaker built.
• ⚡ The house boasts Ethernet ports in every room and a networking closet with a 2-gig symmetrical fiber internet connection.
• 📦 A third bedroom is set up for storage, pets, and potentially a partial gym.
• 🛏️ The master bedroom has built-in nightstands and a door leading to the backyard.
• 🚿 The master bathroom includes a walk-in shower and a Jacuzzi tub, alongside a bidet toilet with a heated seat, though a toilet paper holder is notably absent.

Backyard Access and Garage

• 🌳 Multiple doors lead to the backyard, some equipped with doorbells, adding to the perceived paranoia.
• 🚗 The garage is standard-sized but has a central pole that obstructs parking; it also houses Mel's laser cutter, a sink, cabinetry, washer/dryer, and a second fridge.

Overall Impressions

• 👍 Despite the oddities and security concerns, the speaker is grateful and excited to live in the spacious house for the next 1-2 years while their own home is rebuilt.
• 🤔 The experience is expected to influence decisions when building their new house, particularly regarding features like a doorade.
