le island house

This is the old old house of the Gaustadneses. The roof with all the grass on it is an extension of the original house. This house contains some relics like a boat from a ship that was in danger of shipwreck, and it looks darn cool because its built to move with the motions of a rocky trip. And there are some old tools and stuff, and some pictures of the island thats still in black and white. There used to be a small little fishing community on the island somewhat, with 3 other houses and a dock. However, all thats left of the dock is the piles of rocks where me and alex were in the picture in the previous post.

If you look closely at the distance from the first and second floor, you can imagine that the second floor is lower than the first. And in the pic below... go gauge XD.

Its almost like a cute cosy lil dollhouse! the windows on the second floor are on the floor btw. i got alex to take this pic just to show the height of things XD This is the sight when i opened the door.. door to the left leads to more rooms... stairs tothe right leads upstairs to the two bedrooms. one more door to the right leads to the bathroom undergoing construction. they use gas for cooking in this house.. back on the main island, people use electric stoves.
This is the extention of the house... a cosy living room (more to the left of the pic) with a fireplace. they built this themselves. the extention, the fireplace, and even the cabinet over there. The steps you see lead to a seperated second floor, like a seperate living room... an idea which i like very much.
lastly, i just had to take a picture of the beds! ARENT THEY SO CUTE?! its like some childhood dream come true XD pity that there's a few bugs here and there because the house is mainly used in summer. This bed room also comes with a miniature door to peek out to the living room below XD

So that concludes the tour of the island house... dont want to add too many pictures. I made a video anyway.. the island comes with a little "Wading pool" where generations of Gaustadnes kids have played in. Which is where i saw the mink and picked some pretty shells.....which i left at the island =.= DOH.
