Beer, Beer and more Beer

 

Back in 2008 I was in a crash pad in ATL. it was a House about 15 years old, that had been changed around so that it had 6 bedrooms, 3 bath rooms a kitchen and nice living room. Fully furnished, flat screen TV, wireless internet, computer avail in the house as well, two refrigerators, BBQ on the deck, parking for 5 cars, Maid service once a week, nice furnishings, combo locks on each bedroom door, combo lock on the front door, 15 minutes from our company appointed parking lot. It was either 225 or 250 per month... hard to remember. Each room had two beds. When I was there we had two S5 pilots, two Pinnacle pilots, 1 ASA pilot, 1 Skywest FA (male), 1 US Air Marshall (yep) and three female Air Tran FAs. Rarely were there more than 2 or three of us there. It was a nice place.

 

How'd you find that gem?

 

Well-padded/soundproofed TV room (or hard-wired to wireless headphones) and/or well-soundproofed sleep rooms with every door in the house and every rafter in the roof and floor oiled to within an inch of their respective lives. Anti-slam mechanisms on the doors, all of them.

No doorbell. An anti-solicitor vaporizer raygun that nails anyone attempting to sell something or hang doortags without the proper code to enter the SFH's perimeter.

No telephone.

High-speed internet with a router that kicks any IP off that hasn't used it within 30 minutes.

No smoking near air intakes for the house.

Air curtains at each door, to keep the flying insects out.

Lightproof Warm-Window coverings on the windows in the sleep rooms. A little expensive, yes, but you'll save a ton on heating and a/c bills, plus it'll keep things quieter and a lot darker allowing those with the need to sleep in the daytime.

Whole house A/C with thermostats (Nest?) in the sleep room and public area.

Gun locker(s).

A room with tables and chairs for study, work, or whatever without the TV noise/distraction.

All that other stuff listed above would be nice, too.

 

I had a crashpad in JFK that had all the HD porn channels. It helped pass time when you weren't getting called.

 

If it's a co-ed crashpad, make sure you're equal opportunity with those channels.

 

Anyone need a crashpad in DCA? Walk to metro, in Old Town Alexandria.
Private message me.
