My House

For those who have wondered about my living quarters, here ya go!

The teacher housing here is Atmau is well appointed, at least compared to some other sites.  I have running water, a flush toilet, and a partially functional washing machine. (Yay!)

I share an arctic entryway with the original school building.  Only one class is currently housed over here, the Kindergarten.  The rest is used for storage.  Here's what it looks like from the outside, the corner of the newer school building is on the left.


I have to unlock 2 steel doors to access my house, the third door has a broken lock.  You enter directly into my living room, which also houses a kitchen table. View from the doorway as you enter:

View of the entry, which is the open door to the far right.  The door to the left is the furnace room. Notice the reading poster that I scavenged and hung up for some brightness and to cover some of the paneling that had been cut out and patched back in. 


The kitchen is to the left of the kitchen table:


This is the first time in history that I've had a bookless bookshelf!
More of the tour to come...
