Day 212 – FoS: Break Room


Break Room: Located in Orange
Looking over my map, I realized that I told you guys what we did with the break room and how we converted it over to a private bedroom but I never told you where it was. You can see it on the map in Orange. As you can see by the map it is about 20x12 so that is a really descent sized room. Granted that King sized bed takes up a pretty significant portion but it is still bigger than the bedroom that I had in my house.
And it is amazing the transformation that it went through. Before all this, the space was lined with this plastic/industrial paneling that you could soak with 409 and scrub down with a scrub brush. There was a cabinet for condiments and plastic silverware with a microwave and there was a full sized pop machine. And then there was a single table for everyone to sit around with a collection of plastic chairs that quite frankly had seen better days.
Then the crew went through and did their total transformation. It is amazing how the place actually seems like a real bedroom. I have spent a few nights in the private room and it is quite amazing when you wake up in that King bed. You can almost forget that outside world for a few moments.
With a locking door and a small window within the door, you can sleep soundly knowing that you are safe inside and you can give a quick look outside before you open the door to make sure that the hallway is clear before you open it. Again, better safe than sorry.
It is a small slice of home away from home.
