My house is at the head of a cul-de-sac, a ring of houses arranged around a dead end. Since we are also on a hill, my house rises above the neighboring homes. Unfortunately, the ground on this hill is made of clay, which expands a lot when it’s wet and contracts when it’s dry. Because of this some of our doors don’t work in the summer, or require a lot of strength to open, though they’re fine in the fall and winter since we get a lot of rain. For the same reason our backyard develops cracks in it during hot summers, but it seals up and even gets muddy in the winter.
I have a pretty big house, and nice too, despite it cracking in the summer. Immediately to your right, should you walk in through the front door, is our living room. This room has a very large couch and a TV, as well as plentiful toys lying on the floor, mostly from my baby brother. Going straight, however, will bring you to the kitchen-dining room area. Unlike the rest of the house, which is carpeted, this area is, thankfully, tiled. There is no real lines to say where the kitchen is with regards to the dining room, except for a window looking outside, which is where we put the table, and the counter-space that ends on one side with the fridge, and ends on the other just before said window. In addition to the fridge, the kitchen has an oven, dishwasher, sink, and many cupboards and closets.
Just off of the dining room is the second living room, which has two repurposed closets that me and my dad use as desks, me for schoolwork like this, and my dad just about anything. I say “repurposed”, and they were, because we had to work on them quite a bit, but I have no idea what their original purpose was. Also in this room is a stone-decorated fireplace, as well as a smaller couch, armchair, and rocking chair. Going further past this room is the laundry room, with a bathroom to the left and a garage to the right.
If you turn to your left instead of right at the front door you’ll find stairs that lead to my family’s rooms. First off on your right is a bathroom, then mine and my brothers rooms on the left. Going right at the end of the hall you’ll find a room the size of a walk-in-closet, which I have turned into a Lego-devoted room. At the end of this second hall is my parents room, which is rather spacious and contains the third, and last, bathroom.
