The House

Thought a picture of the house would be appropriate.  From the left is a screened porch that leads to the living room. The living room is my favorite room in the house with an amazing rock fireplace, and large windows on the either end w/an 8ft. sliding door that separates it from the porch. All windows are original to the house, single paned, and drafty. Window to the right of front door is Sarah's room, behind the garage is the Master bedroom.  One full bath, one half bath, and one working stool upstairs in what will be a bathroom someday.  Yeah, it gets interesting.  The kitchen and breakfast nook are between the living room and laundry room.  I spent a lot time in the kitchen!  Upstairs is one small complete bedroom, seen in the picture, the french doors on the balcony are that room.  The windows to the right side of the balcony is the only other 'formal' room, meaning it's frames, insulated and tyveked with electricity.  It's cooled w/a wall a/c and heating with a room heater that looks like a freestanding woodstove. The rest of the upstairs is completely unfinished.  Framed, soon to be completed insulation, but that's it.  Last night, four boys slept in the 'open' area that has a sectional couch and double mattress on the floor.  They have it rigged with T.V. and game systems and lamps. That's about it.  My prayer, dream, wish, desire, heart would be to find a way to finish it, without cost to the Conference and to not have to worry about having enough food to feed them.
