600 Square Feet

The entrance door is there on the left; the Easy Bake Oven
is on the center shelf, just outside the kitchen door. 

First, let's take a tour of the kitchen. It is roughly 5 feet wide by 8 feet long. On the left going in is a midget refrigerator with the microwave on top, then the washer, which looks kind of like a trash compactor. Next is the 2-burner gas stove with pots and pans underneath. Then the drain and the sink. There is actually a tiny window to the right of the sink which is opaque glass since it just looks out on a wall, but at least it's a window. On the left wall outside the kitchen are three free-standing shelves, one of which holds what our predecessor Sister Arnold calls the "Easy Bake Oven," owing to its size. 


The Church arranged for these 
apartments, which was an 
immense help in not having
 to look for a place to live.
 They have serviceable
 furnishings, maybe
not what we would have 
chosen, but they do the job. 


The floors are all tile. There 
are 3 window unit air-cond-
itioners, but get this: there is
no heat. Instead, we have
two portable radiators we
wheel to wherever we want
the warmth (but it's not cold
yet--- it's even warmer than 
Houston). 
We also have
a dehumidifier which we run constantly and have to empty about twice a day. 

Our cozy living room; our bedroom is on the left, then the other bedroom is
on the right: it holds two wardrobes where we keep our clothes.
