Descriptions, and points of interest on the Ranch.

Ok. Well as Paul's place is getting more detailed, I'm going to post information so there is continuety for future sessions. First Im going to start off on the house and barn. Then move on to the land surrounding the place.

The House is a few hundred feet from the road sitting perpendicular to that gravel road and mainly made of brick. The narrow side of the house is facing the gravel road with the front of the house facing the circular gravel lot. Directly inside the house is a mud room with two closets. One closet is to your left as soon as you walk into it and directly next to it are two folding doors that hide the washer and dryer. Step out of the mudroom and you are in a short hallway. To the right is the large kitchen, which has a window that faces the lot under the overhang of the porch. The kitchen opens up with a short bar separating it from the dinning room. The dinning room is separated from the living room by a wall that contains the stairs to both the upstairs and the basement. But has a door that leads directly into the living room Along the back wall in the dinning room is a big sliding glass door that leads out to a deck that runs the length of the house.

If you would have turned left outside the mudroom you would find open stairs going upstairs, and a closed door going down to the basement. Walk past both those stairs and the hallway opens up into the living room. There is a small wall to the forward of the house with a door in the living room. It has the downstairs bathroom. All it is, is a large sink, and a toilet.

The living room is pretty simple, but fairly large. Along the narrow wall facing away from the road is a large fireplace. A nice TV with all the usual stuff in a entertainment center. A fairly large coffee table with a couch loveseat and big recliner. The back window is big and has a windowsill that could double as another couch. It lifts up to provide more storage space. There are windows all around.

The basement is just a normal basement, wide and open, and unfinished. But has a bunch of stuff in it. It is actually longer than the house is, has three deepfreezes against the short wall that is away from the road, the stairs come down kind of in the center, along the wall that would be the back yard are a bunch of work benches with many different types of small tools, last is the reloading bench which has a few dozen ammo boxes under it, and a variety of rifles, pistols shotguns bows and one crossbow hanging on the wall behind the bench. There are also a few primitive bows, and an atlatl on that same wall. On the opposite wall (the one facing the front yard) is a long couch a recliner, in between the couch and the recliner is a Oilfield Drill bit that has been modified using some steel tubing welded to the bit into an ashtray, and a propane furnace Towards the short wall are shelves that hold awards, statuses, and belt buckles from Paul's younger years. Most are football and boxing trophies, but there are a few for bullfighting (rodeo style) and bulldawging.

Upstairs. The stairs come to a hallway running the length of the house. Turn right (towards the road) and you come to an open doorway that is a fairly nice sized family room. In the family room is another couch, coffee table, recliner, a nice stereo and an upright piano, along with pictures of family. Paul's mom and dad, aunts and uncles, and in particular (much like in the living room downstairs) his late wife.

If you would have turned left and you are in a hallway. The first door on your left is a full but small bathroom. Door on your right is Ann's room. Next door on your left is a bedroom that has been made into an office. Next door on your right is the spare bedroom, and at the end of the hallway is Paul and Rachel's bedroom, the master bedroom which has its own bathroom.

I will get into the description of the barn later on.
