Screened on three sides, with a table for six, a swing seat and a ceiling fan. In August it is where you eat. There is no heating out here and the screens are screens, so between November and March it is a cold porch with furniture on it.
Every room · Main floor
The screened porch
The best room in the house from late April to October. No heat in it, so useless in January.
Table for six, swing seat, mosquito screens replaced in 2025
The rest of the house
Eight more rooms, described the same way
Same house, same changeover morning, same habit of writing down the awkward part.
Main floor
The kitchen
A 1948 kitchen with a new gas range in it. No dishwasher, and we are not putting one in.
Main floor
The dining room
Round table, eight chairs, and the only room where all eight of you fit at once.
Main floor
Bedroom three, the twin room
Two singles that can be pushed together, main floor, next to the bathroom.
Up fourteen steep steps
The attic room
A double under the roof, up a steep flight. Hot in July, and the one room we discount for.
Outside
The yard, the alley and the parking
One parking space off the alley, a fenced side yard, a fig tree that fruits in August.
