Here are some pictures of our house. The first and last one are of our downstairs. It's a nice long room with our "family room" on one end and our "office" on the other. There's also a picture of our "non-electric" clothes dryer, a.k.a. the clothes line. Electricity is beyond expensive here so you have to cut back any way you can. Apparently the clothes dryer uses up a ton of electricity so I'm trying to dry as much as I can on the line. We have a big driveway area where the kids can ride their bikes and scooters and since it's downhill from the road I don't worry about them being close to the cars.
