Dwelling Places

When I first moved away from home I worked at a boarding school and lived there while I finished high school elsewhere. Then I went to Boot camp and lived in the barracks. The I went to a special military training school and lived in a barracks on base that was like an apt. Then I went to Rota Spain and lived in a 2 bedroom apt, in town for several years. When I was discharged and came back to the states (I was married and expecting by then), we lived in an apt. until we found a 3 bedroom house to buy. That burned down 15 years later and we moved onto my trawler boat. We lived on her for a year and then I bought a motorhome which we lived in for 2 years. Then I bought a Sailboat got rid of the husband(he was the 2nd) and my youngest and I sailed, lived and worked on boats thereafter. She went off to college and I sold the boat to help pay for that. I now live in a one bedroom apt. Sailing is too much for me alone. My lovely daughter graduates this month. Shalom~Adoniah

Lived in apartment block, likely to live in this type of housing all my life. Singapore is too small and too crowded, most of us stayed in apartment blocks build by the government. We do own the apartment, as least the lease of 99 years imply so, but the government do tear down apartment blocks older than 30 years, so they will relocate us to another nearby blocks. Right now staying on 16th storeys, opposite the industrial estate, can see the shipyards, and suffer the pollution.

When I started out on my own I started out in a two bedroom flat three stories up, no elevator so i was fit in those days then I lived in a two bedroom, two story apartment where the lounge and kitchen was down stairs and the bedrooms and bathroom was upstairs now I live in a two bedroom little house and now that i think about it i have never had a place of mt own with out stairs, in this house i have 3 steps down from the kitchen to the living room....

i lived at home up until highschool. it's a very small private compound we have shared with my grandfather's bestfriend's family and descendants. in our part of the compound are 3 small 2-storey houses, one of which belongs to us. i lived at rented houses and apartments inside the campus grounds back in university days, and more apartments and condo units by the time i was working. since i travel a lot, i probably lived in different hotel rooms for some time. hehe but as a freelancer now, i get to stay at home again or my sister's house when she's out of the country.

the family house,before and after and apartments in between..pretty much it. ..although a cardboard box probably would have been better in retrospect than some of the apartments.nothing like going to work and having glass rain down from the second floor where evicted tenants are getting their stuff back.

I have lived in a framed house, apartment, mobile home.....and now have a camper for the weekends.....so that's how I have lived....mostlly in framed one family homes though.....I have lived in my house for thirty years...still love it...

Sounds like oyu have lived in many types of home honey! I can only ever remember living in semi- detached houses, oh and a flat (apartment) once as well! I have lived in lots of houses but all apart from one have been very similar , in different areas and different sizes but all the same type! xxx

I have lived in a rancher, l-shape rancher, grandmom's farm, apartment, townhouse, and now a cape-cod. Growing up I never lived in a two story house, now I do. I have never had a basement, would love to have one Great question!

it's a good dwelling popularization.some more diagrams maybe better. i think what i am living in is condo.

One time in my life i lived in a nipa hut, that is what we call a small house with thatched roofs here in the Philippines. Then we moved to the city and rented an apartment. Today, i live in the basement where upstairs is the display room of our furniture business. It is fun this way when I am only a few steps away from work. When the store is closed, the clients can just go down and knock at our doors and business resumes. It's a good way living in a place which serves both as my residence and workplace.
