Inside tour

(Note: all measurements approximate)

Our house is basically a big box with a 36’ x 40’ footprint. On one side there is a 20’ x 20’ addition that contains a downstairs bath, a laundry room, and a storage room that we currently use as the bookstore warehouse.

For the rooms, I’ve taken pictures from all four corners. There are usually enough reference points in the photos for you to figure out how the rooms connect.

First Floor

Family room (23’ x 22’)

The wood stove in the corner of the room heats the first and second floor quite effectively. Adding a foot of blown-in insulation in the attic made all the difference. We burn lumber ends from a local sawmill, and they are cheap ($75 per dumptruck load in 2009). We will burn less than $200 worth of them this winter.

Hallways

When I first took tour pictures, a couple of walls had not been painted. They were since painted, and I retook some (but not all) to show that.
