I'm quite late to comment here as I've been very busy, but I didn't want to miss this one because it's just the coolest post. I love everything about it. I love the photos, I love the words, I love that you saw this thing and just went inside because it was a thing that you wanted to do. And this:

I love it here I thought while imagining how I would turn this into my habitat for the apocalypse or how cool it would be to paint something artsy on those walls.

This just hits something for me. All my life I've had this inexplicable... I don't know what it is. It is like a trigger for excitement. Any time there is something just sitting around, or some place that is empty, you know.... it's so hard to explain. I just imagine going in there, claiming it as my own and setting up some kind of base of operations... it sets my mind on fire thinking of it. It's what made me love real-time strategy games like Command and Conquer when I was younger... the missions would have you going in with nothing but a mobile command centre and just start building a base in the middle of nowhere from the resources around. I absoutely loved Minecraft for years, for the same reason. It's so hard to describe; I wonder if you can understand the emotion I am trying to convey? It is something raw; something really really deep in my subconscious mind... I absolutely love that feeling... and those words of yours sent me straight to that state of mind as I read them. Thank you!

What would you do to this place if you found yourself in the zombie apocalypse?

Food will be essential, so the garden beds from the window frames are a great idea. What should be grown there? And we're going to have to close up those windows somehow. Way, way too many entrance points. Will need something sturdy. Wood won't cut it. More bricks? Metal from somewhere, melt it and make some crude window cage type things? Would there be time for that? Hopefully they're the nocturnal kind of zombies like in Minecraft, so that daytime can be for building and gathering supplies. Or at least, they'd better be the slow kind of zombies. Otherwise we're pretty screwed xD But, imagine if it could work out, just... standing on the roof of it maybe, staring out at the zombie hordes. Safe. Untouchable. Surviving :D
