Meira:
As a devoted fan of Louise's Ennis and Ellery stories, I am delighted to have been directed here to Chez Tremblay! I won't be able to join in the conversation much for the next couple of weeks as my family and I are taking a road trip down the east coast (USA) and back, but I'll be around again as soon as I devour the chapters I missed while away. I only wish we were headed west toward, you know... Wyoming! ~Sigh~ another time....
Good to "meet" you all!! -Meira

I've been worried about the car port. I live in Arizona but moved here from Iowa. Up north there are garages and few car ports. Down here there are few garages and almost all car ports. I looked up the weather in Laramie, and I see over the last winter that it did snow but from what I could find, it was not too heavy, not like in Iowa. So I guess a car port is OK but somehow I don't think it would be too common.
The car port does solve the problem of seeing the patio from the front, and one bedroom the problem of access to the patio and to the living room. I'm thinking that the kitchen is small and the kitchen table is the dining room.

One of the reasons why Ellery doesn't have a "big fancy place" or big multi-bedroom rancher is because of his relatively stoic lifestyle. Sparsely furnished, for a man who had planned to be alone after finally giving up following the breakup with Bill. He isn't very materialistic, and so his home reflects this simplicity. That was the thinking behind the "carport" rather than "garage" concept.
It does snow 11 months of the year in Wyoming, largely due to the mountain effects, but Laramie is in the southeast, out of the high mountainous terrain. Hard to say whether it is "realistic" or not for him to have a carport, now that I think of it.
