Here are some pictures of our new home. It is about 500 square feet but with a 400 square foot garden yard out back. All windows and doors have locking bars and the whole complex is surrounded by a tall electrified fence with security spikes. There is a guard house out front with security personnel 24 x 7 and powered gates. We have a pog on a chain with a red panic button and if you press it, a response team will come armed with automatic weapons. Although I have no plans to take up Cricket, I found it prudent to keep a nice stout Cricket bat next to the bed just for safety's sake. Sandton is a pretty safe suburb, but there are people in this city living in desperate poverty and burglaries have been known to happen. There is covered parking right outside our door. Laundry facilities are about 20 feet from our door, but it is super lame because you need a very specific combination of coins to make it work (2 2 Rand coins and a 1 Rand coin for the washer, 3 2 Rand coins for the dryer)
Poor Sophie had an unfortunate encounter with the electric fence when she stuck her nose through the fence bars and touched one of the wires. She yelped and scurried away with her tail between her legs and wouldn't go out back for the rest of the day. I felt SO bad for her! Fortunately, the current is not nearly enough to be dangerous, just enough to be way too painful to maintain contact with. ( If you have ever been shocked by a car spark plug that is about how powerful it is)
