Hi everyone, I'm Bit. And I'm Ash.
Welcome to our haunted Sweet Digs.
Don't worry, she's a friendly ghost.
Make sure before you come in you subscribe below,
or she'll haunt you.
Come on in.
We are in Bed Stuy,
we're on the ground floor of a brownstone.
We pay $1925 a month in rent.
That's a really good deal for this area right now.
Back in North Carolina though
we would pay a third of that for the same space.
It's about 900 square feet.
We found this place through our friend, who is now our landlord.
We came to her housewarming,
and it was amazing, and we asked to move in immediately.
Welcome to the living room.
My style is very like, I like old things,
I like things that have history,
things that are like maybe a little bit banged up.
I prefer things to be like, clean, and modern, and bright.
Ash always loves the midcentury modern,
and I always love the Victorian stuff.
Fussy.
Yeah…
decorative.
Bit has a habit of collecting old glass bottles.
Which is really super fine.
Bit: Is it? Is it fine? Ash: Except for the quantity.
I can never get rid of them because she senses it.
I just like feel it, I'll be in another room, and I'm like
"Ooooo, I just got a horrible feeling just now."
We like to decorate with art pieces that
have been made for us by family.
My Great Aunt Alta Sims made that oil painting.
It's a copy of a lithograph that would have been popular in the 1800s.
My mom was getting rid of it,
and I was like, "Don't you dare get rid of that."
I got a circular saw for Ash for her birthday.
I hated our old coffee table,
so I was like immediately, next day
in the basement making a new table.
I learned to build things from my dad, who grew up building
things on a farm.
2-year-olds playing with circular saws, it's good.
When we first moved in this marble fire place had been painted white.
And one day we were like,
I wonder what's at the bottom of all that white paint.
So, we got a razor blade and we chipped some
of it off, and it was like real Carrara marble.
And we thought it was gonna be like an hour project,
like we were just gonna, *click*
but no, it was a month.
There were just so many layers of old paint.
This is our kitchen.
This space is a kinda weird shape,
and there's not a lot of counter space.
Our kitchen table we got from
a place called Nightwood NY.
They make custom wood pieces.
This ended up being about $1,500 all told.
They let us pay in multiple installments,
so it wasn't like a huge burden.
Definitely our big splurge but, you know,
we'll keep it forever.
I am a librarian. I work in a video archive for a media company.
I work at a music company as a facilities person.
I do a lot of the same stuff that I do around the house, which is like,
you know, home improvement type stuff.
Here's the bathroom.
I really don't like having a windowless bathroom.
There's so many plants that thrive in the bathroom environment,
like ferns and orchids.
I just get really sad thinking
of all the things I can't grow in here because there's no natural light.
This is our bedroom.
We love Ikea,
and our favorite Ikea furniture is
just the lowest, and plain pine pieces.
They just last forever, like, since it's just screws and wood
you can take them apart and put them back together.
Definitely the way to go,
like our bed frame was like 50 bucks,
our side tables were like 11 dollars.
This was also the room where we had our first experience
with our ghost.
The basement ghost.
We were falling asleep one night,
and Ash was suddenly wide awake and she was like,
"Bit! Did you hear that?" I was like, "No I didn't hear anything."
She was like, "Something just knocked
three times under my side of the bed."
And I was like, "You're dreaming go back to sleep."
So, then I was falling asleep and I heard it,
it was just like, *knock knock knock*
and I was like, "Ash I heard it, did you hear it?"
And she was like, "No I didn't hear it that time."
When we first moved in,
and realized that maybe we had a ghost,
we did a thing where we just
sort of asked the ghost to protect the apartment
instead of harming it.
In the mail two days later,
we got a fire extinguisher that was mis-delivered to our house.
It was a very literal interpretation of like "protect the house."
But I mean, I'll take it.
Yeah, she's pretty chill though, like as far as roommates go
she doesn't take up w a lot of space.
[communal laughter]
She's pretty quiet.
This is the second bedroom,
but we use it as a combination workspace and plant room.
So, on this side of the bookshelf is mine.
I don't like about this room that it's just really narrow.
It's supposed to be a second bedroom but you can't really use it that way.
If I could redo the space
I would just make it like a normal shape.
This is my corner of the work room.
This is my cozy little nook,
with heater right next to my favorite chair,
and then like all of my books.
This is basically where I hang out when it's cold.
And this way to the backyard.
When we first moved into this house,
collectively as a household we were prepping the back yard.
When they tested the soil, they found out that it was actually really high
in lead and arsenic.
Which is apparently a big issue around Brooklyn.
Everything that you see that we grew to eat is
in soil that we had to like carry in through
our apartment in buckets.
Usually we grow salad greens in there.
I have a lot of herbs over here.
Strawberries, blackberries, apples, cherries,
and then I think that's a grape vine growing up the water tank.
Yeah, concord
When Trump won the election we were like,
"Oh, okay, it's the apocalypse, we're all gonna die."
In the coming starving times we want to at least have
some protein.
So, we decided to raise quail.
They each produce a single egg a day,
so when we have a full flock of 10 hens
that's 10 quail eggs a day. I make a lot of quail egg soufflés.
One thing that we're really gonna do this year is
raccoon proof. Because it turns out
raccoons can open latches with their little hands,
and they're very smart.
The baby quail that we have inside
were hatched from these.
We hatched them in an incubator, and
we just gathered the eggs out here.
We met at a party in North Carolina, a pig pickin',
which is where you put a suckling pig
over a chicken wire, cinder block fire.
Which is very southern.
Yeah.
So, I was super nervous, and I had this big plate of pork in front
of me that I just couldn't eat, too nervous to eat.
I'm also like scared of parties
so I had found a vantage point
at the beginning where I could sit and observe everybody,
and like chain smoke,
and like act like I was too cool to talk to everybody.
And then I saw her from across the yard,
she had just shaved her head, and I was like,
I'm gonna talk to that one.
And then Bit just walked up to me and she's like,
"Are you gonna eat that."
And I was like, "No." And she was like, "Okay," and she literally took
it in her hands and ate it.
Like a wild animal.
And so, we were kinda like glued to each other for the rest of the party,
because I was like she's awkward, I'm awkward,
this is gonna work.
I talk to people at parties now.
Yeah congrats.
Thank you. We've both grown as people.
We got married at the courthouse in Brooklyn.
Gay marriage had just been legalized,
we were really excited to get married.
We spent like 100 bucks on like a giant keg of beer.
and just invited everybody we could think of,
and just threw a huge party.
I don't think we're gonna move until we're ready to buy a house.
Which could be never.
I mean our situation is one in a million. Like beautiful situation.
We're never gonna get a place this nice.
No, and
with the current market rates we're never gonna buy a place either.
[laughter]
