Whitlatch Home





We now live in a home that is approximately 1800 sq.ft, 2 stories, 4 bedroom, two bath. Downstairs there is a living room/dining room combo, kitchen, 2 bedroom and 1 bathroom. Upstairs are the 2 other bedrooms, bathroom and attic space. The house is over 70 years old. Not much different from our Sacramento home and neighborhood.

The neighborhood we live in is called Henderson Center because of a small shopping area. From our house we can walk to 2 pizza places, a video store, 2 bakeries, a drug store, hardware store, small shops and many small restaurants. A very nice neighborhood. Ronny's school is about 3/4 a mile away and Ben is about 2 miles a away. It takes Frank 15-20 mintues to get to Humboldt State in Arcata, just north.

The photos are the front of the house, we are levated about 6 feet above the street, backyard, living room and kitchen. Our primary source of heat is a pellet stove, not central heat. We also have an electric heater downstairs if needed. Both only really heat the downstairs. We all have flannel sheets and blanket underneath big comforters. So far we have gone through 1 ton of pellets in 2 months.

Take care.
