Front of House

Let us just come to the consensus that we all have dreamed about owning a beach house. There was even that period in the early 2000’s where we would send friends and families invitations to a beautiful beach house party, only to figure out it was a prank. Although not all coastal dwellers live in such luxurious abodes. They are middle class fishermen, engineers, biologists, and transporters whose jobs are necessary to sustain the economy, while having to live in close proximity to dangerous…

architecture. For instance, every owner has a front and back porch that provide a slightly elevated view of the landscape. In addition, no tree grows within this group of condominiums. The potential danger of their falling onto power lines, cars, and houses poses too great of a risk in such a small, confined space. Overall, the place consists of more hardscape than plantscape because of the necessity to accommodate parking.…

Gingerbread House Analysis On December 11th 2017, the critical thinking class started making gingerbread house. Grace’s class decided to make these fun gingerbread houses to bring holiday cheer and celebrate the holidays. This project was a one day project and was very enjoyable. It was very easy and related to the E in STEM. The E stands for Engineering and there was a lot of that. This project only took one class period, which is surprising because the quality of some of them are astonishing…

person hopeful. Withered by time, the plethora of thin liable cracks scattered across the olive-dyed floors and indigo walls with an antique circular pattern ; this house was old enough to live in a pangea . However, there was a skeptical sense of suspicion of this person. Even though she was an aesthetically pleasing model on the front page of a magazine, she carried a repugnant air of deviousness that…

The cottage like house staring Laney Marshall in the face was depressed and calling out for a match to rid it of its misery. Apparently the universe thought the ugly brown color of the siding wasn't enough and bestowed the house with acute scoliosis. The grass grabbed at her and her mother's ankles while they dragged their two suitcases containing their entire lives to the front door. Something about the dark green slab of wood separating them and the inside of their new home gave the…

market was an amazing moment when the stars aligned and every house price dropped to prices that some of us could easily finally afford. Not only were we able to afford a house for the first time possibly in history, we were able to have our pick of the litter as it were. It was a buyers’ market, and people like me, we were all about buying a house that no one will be able to take away from us. Or so we thought. When you go to get a new house and you have cash to lay down, it’s very different…

The Great Fire by Jim Murphy It was Sunday and an unusually warm evening for October eighth, so Daniel “Peg Leg” Sullivan left his stifling little house in the west side of Chicago and went to visit neighbors. One of his stops was at the shingled cottage of Patrick and Catherine O’Leary. The one-legged Sullivan remembered getting to the O’Learys’ house at around eight o’clock, but left after only a few minutes because the O’Leary family was already in bed. Both Patrick and Catherine had to be up…

location had been chosen because it seems to be a quant suburban city, with its population being approximately 5,147 people. But the population has slowly decreased from 2010-2011, but with their being a large percentage of people living in the same house for longer than a year, that being about 79%, hopefully that in time the population will start to increase because of people starting to have families or having more kids and such. With that statistic being pointed out I intend on having…

For many high school students, home feels like a permanent safe haven, but Elizabeth Welch’s house in Winchester, Massachusetts only feels like a temporary destination for her. Andover has usurped the position of primary residence in her life, and her sojourn home on every Sunday never lasts long enough. In her old neighborhood, a new generation has displaced Elizabeth, her twin, and her three older siblings; neighbors put on a façade of kindness as they wait for her family to leave. As…

the backyard. On a whim before going out I decided to let all three of our cats outside. However, I kept one with me by putting a harness and leash on her. I decided so that she could keep my friend and I company while we figured out our tree house. When I finally got her situated I turned to my brother and tried to join me. I thought since it was just the two of us we could use all the help we could put the plywood into the tree. Nonetheless, he was immovable. I was at least able to…
