We live between two floors.

I saw this in Being John Malkovich but didn't realize it was a thing in real life. So, like, you live on the 9 1/2 floor or something?

Ha. Meaning we aren't ground floor or top floor, we are sandwiched between two other floors. Barely need to add heat aince we share all the heat that the building has
