The House on Happy Valley

So I was going to upload this filmed tour of The House on Happy Valley (an obscure reference to classic radio-drama (I am a nerd)), but then Aarons computer doesn't accept my SD card and I don't have a cord for my camera. A typed tour will have to suffice. Our fictional character, discovering this house for the first time, will be Greg.
Greg walks up steps and enters through front screen door. He takes off his shoes in the ante-chamber (whatever that thing is called) and enters through the duct tape sealed second front door. A toasty warm house greets him because Sam has been busy making a blazing fire in the wood furnace. Crossing to the fridge Greg opens it to find there is very little in it, Greg is dissapointed. There isn't even any decent snack food in the cupboards because it doesn't last very long in this house. Moving past the Bob bar and into the living room, Greg notices the stark lack of furniture in the house. This is because Sam and Will recently moved most of the awesome stuff into the basement. All that's left is a pair of couches and a pretty decent lying-on carpet (a carpet for lying on and spacing out). He takes a quick glance into the far room, observing how tidy it is and then makes his way into the three-pronged hallway/open space. The first door to the left contains emptiness and a desk in the corner, cluttered with papers and a laptop, this room is evidently Sam's office/The Theater (hence the laptop). Moving on, Greg steps into the poorly lit bathroom, but upon noticing the awesomeness of the medivel light fixtures, he changes his mind and decides it is well lit. The next room, it appears, has been ransacked, with papers and books lying everywhere, boxes full of clothes and assorted crap taking up at least half of the room, an unmade bed, a pile of dirty laundry a computer and acessories sitting on boxes in the corner with the closet. Also the chair is broken and wont hold you up unless you sit at the back of it. It's pretty craptacular. Moving out of the hallway, Greg encounters a random door and decides to open it. It's dark inside so he hits the lightswitch and to his surprise his path is outlined in an unearthly green light. Taking the set of stairs downwards he encounters a weird yellowish light and an awesome red one as he emerges into the basement. Sitting on a shelf is a wierd pulsing lava lamp, nearly hypnotising Greg. Fortunately he pulls away at the last second and moves on into the next room, switching on the light to reveal a foosball table in thge center of the room, flanked by a record player with piles of records and a sound system on one side and a skukum electric guitar and amp on the other side (which Will bought for $120 from Classic Guitars in Penticton (it's an epic tale)).
That's pretty much the whole house and I have to go because we're heading off to the Blind Angler for dinner in Peachland. Miss you guys.
