House on site

The boring boxy house from the front. Making this house out of cardboard is very appropriate considering how much of a box it really was. The front window on the left would have been my room.

As shown, this house has more of a back yard than the real house did. The only things in the back yard were my swing set on a small patch of lawn and the driveway. Luckily there was a park nearby where all the neighborhood children played since all the yards were tiny. We also played in the street and across everybody's front lawns. There were no fenced yards so we roamed freely.

My famous bloodstain. Nobody really paid that much attention to it after the first couple days it was there but it did not wear or wash off while we lived there.

The swing set. I didn't want to make it look attractive because it wasn't. It was red but the paint was peeling and most of the metal was rusting. I don't think they can make metal swing sets anymore. They don't seem safe now. For me, the best part of this house was the swing set because I was the only person who used it so it seemed like it was mine in a place where everything was shared.
