The Old Home Place

or as the Owner sometimes refers to it:

Constantly Needs Repair

Lot Type: Residential

Lot Size: 4x3

Lot Value: 110,384

7 bedrooms, 8 bathrooms, kitchen, dining room, parlor, greenhouse and pond

EP Requirements: Seasons

SP Requirements: I have them all

Some of the screenshots depict part of the story behind the home.

There is a shot of the exterior back. No one left their trash can in the front yard. Many folks had a fig tree out back.

There is a view of the dining room used for Special guests and Sunday dinner.

There is the parlor it could be used for formal or informal gatherings. On this occasion it was used for ?courting?.

The older children and teenagers have a game room and bedrooms that have just recently had drywall installed against the draftiness of what used to be servant quarters.

Note that they have been placed as far from their parents' room as possible.

There is the kitchen which, like the rest of the house, is a work in progress. The old kitchen fireplace has been walled up and ?newer? kitchen appliances have been added.

The garden has had the most up-to-date technology installed due to the importance of self-sufficiency. It is ready for harvesting.

The winter weather brought an unexpected visitor.

I believe he is grumbling because the pond is frozen over and no one left a fish out for him.

The first floor has the master bedroom and the parents keep the infant with them.

The second floor is for guests and grandparents and adult children.

The third floor is for the older children and teenagers with their play area.

The preacher got snowed in one night (maybe he was glad and thanking God for the extra time to court the widow).
