This one is two bedrooms, one bath, 882 sq. feet. We can just tear down the garage.

At the risk of sounding like I am teasing, Ellery's home is a simple rancher, nothing fancy.  Certainly not a dump... but he is a single man alone who has little interest in anything but his privacy and his job.  Remember his incipient workaholism in between his sparse relationships!

By the way I am reminded, since Beagle is about to join the plot in real time, has anyone got any ideas on what he should look like?

About the same height as Ellery (Ellery was 6'2" at the beginning of college and gained a little height by the time he graduated), heavier, and at the time of his college years, normal build, outweighing and outmassing Ellery enough to dominate him physically (but that is not hard to do,) long brown hair and deep liquid brown eyes.  Handsome enough by normal standards, but of the two Ellery was definitely the looker.

Agreed!  I wasn't too impressed with the houses in Lamarmie either.   Not unless you have $300,000 or more to spend!

Here is what I kinda think they'd have.  Although it might be just a bit too fancy on the front.

Louise -- that place looks like a dump! LOL I refuse to have Ennis and Ellery living in a dump!!

This one has one bedroom, one bath, so it would be the right size.

This is the one I like of the three!

you know I like that one too!  We have to have hedges and trees...

And of course we don't actually have to AGREE on a house since it *ahem* doesnt really exist.

[lowcountrygirl]

But I like David's suggestion best of all!

I photoshopped my pic to make it less fancy.   Got rid of the sidewalk to the street and one of the gable roofs in front.   Now it looks better.

Second pic I removed the shutters.

Beagle... an Eddie Van Halen, look perhaps? Although Eddie is only 5'8" but we could stretch him out...This would be the college Beagle, of course! Now he is paunchy and balding, right? LOL



Is this what Eddie Van Halen grew up to be?
