Pat's New Home

This is what retirement looks like folks. This is my friend Pat's new home in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada.

Pat purchased a condo on the 10th floor of the former Royal Connaught Hotel in Hamilton.

The total square feet is 548 (I think) which consists of an open 'great' room which consists of a kitchen and living room and a dining area.

 He has one bedroom and one bathroom.  All amenities are top of the line. Pat is the only one tenant on his floor at this time.

Pat now has a big flat screen TV in his living room. No more streaming movies from his tiny iPhone.




When I visited Pat in September, his air conditioning unit wasn't working properly. Because one whole wall is all windows, and the unusual heat in Hamilton during September, his condo was too hot for my fragile body temperature.  I had to book a hotel room at the nearby Sheraton for most of my stay. I went back to Pat's condo the last two days, after he had blinds installed which cut down on the heat.  




I have to say, after seeing the convenience and efficiency of Pat's condo, I am tempted to toss all my 'things' and go condo like Pat.  I may do this eventually anyway as I get older.  

Below is a mini tour of Pat's mini condo. This is living!
