NEVERSCORED SAID[ … ] 🏠 FOR MIKE’S HOUSE.
1. the exterior of the house is a split level. it’s a newer home, most likely built in the late 60′s / early 70′s. this was ted and karen’s first home, and they’ve lived in it ever since. the house consists of 12 total areas, including the foyer/entrance, kitchen, dining room, living room, 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a finished basement, and a 1 car garage. it is an impressive home, and karen takes good care to make sure it’s neat and tidy.
2. the foyer has stairs leading up to the second floor of the wheeler house. the front door leads into an entrance with two drawered tables, each with a matching lamp on top. pictures hang on the walls of both boring art and their family portraits.
3. the dining room is pretty spacious, but can still get crowded with 5 people eating there. the wheeler’s actually have two tables, one for casual meals ( breakfast, lunch, snacks, etc. ) and then a bigger dining table for dinners and holiday meals. the space is blocked off with a half wall, and the walls are covered in floral wallpaper.
4. the kitchen is the cleanest part of the house, since karen is in there a lot. there’s always some kind of baked treat on the counter. the dishwasher is a great feature of the house, and the fridge is often covered in holly’s drawings or mike or nancy’s report cards.
5. one of the reasons this house was so desirable is because of the fireplace. fully functioning and very large, you can find ted snoring in front of it, most days, in his recliner. pictures of the kids litter the top brick. also on the very left is an urn of ted’s father’s ashes.
6. unlike the kitchen, the basement is the messiest part of the wheeler house, despite karen’s best efforts. this is the part of the house mike is in the most, as well as his friends. board games and all of their d&d equipment resides downstairs. plenty of blankets and pillows stay down there for sleepovers. ted bought a dart board, hung it up, but never used it. you can also find cereal boxes and soda cans in the basement most nights.
