Welcome,
you are now page for the new proposed living space Knight Homestead
at 189 Knight Road and how I desire to live there again.
Click here to go to the image of the proposed floorplan.

The linked images below only deal with the floor plan, this is basically a one story proposal as that type of structure an older man could mountain.
Just mouse over an area and it will tell you more about what I am planning to do in this spot. I want to go home to live.
It would be located behind a currently existing older farm shop and guest house.


This image to the left is the Skamper Travel Trailer I bought from Rev. Harold North. Carpenter Ants got into it while I was in college, but I think the furnishings, cabinet and such can be saved and used in the structure I am proposing to build. This was the bed area. There is a chair beside it (H) but without the chair it folded out to make a double bed to sleep two. This is the refridgerator, run by electricity and gas that came with the trailer. I fear mold ruined this one as well, and some sort of rodents ate away in there. I did not think they could get in, but they did. Above it is the Microwave I used a lot instead of a stove. This is the stove, it was ruined by a "friend" that thought she had to scour off the chrome and top so it all rusted. I still don't know why she thought she had to do that. I will exchange this gas stove with an electric one, unless someone tells me they believe the refidgerator and stove can be repaired economically. This is the sink I hope to take out of the trailer and use in the new structure. It is a small double basen sink and I have enjoyed it. There is plenty of storage under the sink. I hope to use it about as it is in the new structure. This is the chair that if replaced-taken out- allows the bed to be made into a place to sleep two adults. The dinette area I hope to bring into the new space as well. The column table comes apar and the table top goes onto the benches to make an extra bed for company. Hopefully, we can move the cabinets over the tabale into the new structure and put them in the same spot over the dinette. It is also hoped to take the cabinets over the kitchen sink in the travel trailer and bring them into the new structure. This is where the closet from the trailer would go, maybe made a bit deeper. Cabinets from over the sink in the trailer would go into the same place in the new living space, over the sink. Also there, maybe hanging above the stove, would be the Microwave. The sink from the trailer would go into the new structure, maybe with the storage area made a little deeper. I expect to at least use the fron and drawers from this closet in the new building, but in the same place, just inside the door so you can get a coat in a hurry if it is raining, or turns chilly. Toilet in the trailer, I wonder if I can use it in the new structur, I wonder if the codes will allow it. The storage and lavatory in the bathroom I think I can use in the new structure. I want to put in the new structure as much of the tailer as I can. This bureau structure I also want to bring into the new structue. I would lke to use the stove from the trailer, but I fear it is destroyed, hence an electric stove will probably be installed we had in my father's house but never used. It would only be used for cooking a turkey or baking a cake, etc. as I normally use the microwave. With narcolepsy, it is best not to have something that does not shut off by itself. The dinette table from the trailer that would make the space to eat and a place for a guest to sleep. Dinette right side bench, which also helps to make a bed and has storage space undeneath. the left bench to the dinette, with storage space and it helps to make a bed for a guest to sleep on. This is the bureau from the trailer, that we would put in the similar spot in the new structure. The storage space and closet will not really come from the trailer, but would be use to store broom, dust pan, mop, vacum cleaner, and such and cleaning things, like was true in Harold's house. The cabinets over the dinette in the travel trailer would hopefully be installed in the similar place in the new structue. It is planned to put in a large window also, just like in the trailer. This is where a full sized refridgerator would go. However, if it is needed to be put here, then a smaller apartment sized refridgerator will go by the west window. If the refridgerator does not go here, then the rolling washing machine I obtained and Wesley Carr used when he took care of his mother will be stored here. It woudl attach to the kitchen sink for water in and water out. A good deal in that divided sink from the trailer. Of course, if a small structure was added onto this one in the future, a "laundry room" and "pantry" could be established and the washing machien, this one or another one, would go there. A large window will go here, as it was in the travel trailer, to give a really nice view of the north side while one eats a meal, maye a bird feeder would be placed near it in winter and a hummingbird feeder in summer, maybe a bird bath within sight in the summer and lawn chairs in the summer so one cooking inside can be in touch with those outside. I like "pocket doors" that slide into the walls. They take up less space, but the door into the "guest house" might need to be of the more weathertight variety in order to make this work. Standard window, I don't think we can use the jealousy windows from the trailer, but they would be nice, if they were used, we would need to put some sort of storms over them for the winter.

This window is the one that also provides ventilation to the bathrrom.

This would be an area for shelves, like a book case, but is intended for cooking items and pantry items. If a door must be place her the shelving might be altered so a coat or two could be hung here. I have a small wring desk/file cabinet, called a "bill payers desk" that would go here, and I might put it on wheel. This is a combination bookcase at the top and storage space at the bottom area. A small TV and also cd-dvd player would also be here. I normally watch tv while on the computer, or before retiring, hence the bedroom/computer room to put it in. This might be a bookcase or just be omitted for easy entrance and egress from this area. Book case over the bed and beside the window. Might be a storage area on the top "shelf" It might hang over a bit past the bed, like the storage area was in the tarvel tailer. Book case over the bed and beside the window. Might be a storage area on the top "shelf" It might hang over a bit past the bed, like the storage area was in the tarvel tailer. This would be the futon/bed area with storage beneth. If another structure is added in the future, then the bed area would be the computer ara and the rest a walk-through area to the other addition to the east. It is planned to put the chair from the trailer in this spot for right now. This would be the chair that goes to the computer, probably a chair on wheels that could go out to be used as a fifth person in the kitchen dinette area. For now, a book case over the computer desk Computer desk where the Monitor and keyboard would be. Computer Periferals, scanners, printers, etc. The table woudl have storage for books or magnetic media on the sides. Storage shelves before you get to the closet First area of the closet, deep enough for coats and such and hats on a shelf. Inner area not for cabinet storage at the top, but able to but suitcases, etc. at the bottom. Top area has two windows for cross ventalation into the toilet in the summer and able to be used like a cold frame in the winder with its eastern window for starting seeds. Lockable small window in the toiler area to allow for ventalation, since it would also extend over the shower area to allow for the requisit air changes. The toilet bowl, maybe brought from the trailer, if allowd. Some storage space to be in back of John Crapper's invention . Shower of a similar type as was used at the room charlie had at 32 Byers Street in Springfield., MA. It is glass on 3 sides with a shower door. Two sidesare moulded plastic. He liked that shower. If another structue is built, then the closet next to this would become a "tub room" for a bath tub. That way someone can take a relaxing bath while anothr person is using the toilet, showering or washing her hair. maybe the mazazine rack from teh trailer will come into here, and maybe something else. Toilet bowel and storage area would come from the trailer bath room, however an in-wall medicine cabinet would probably be installed. The "accordian" door would be taken from the stairway in Harod's house. It has the ability to be kept back, where I would probably keep it. However, it might be needful in the winter to close it to keep more heat in the bedroom. This entrance would be an exit from the new quarters and enter into the existing "guest house" which would serve as "living room" area in the summer and be basicly closed off in the winter. This wold be the main entrance and exit door. There would be a small poarch on this souther door to allow for heat to not be lost as one entered and exited the new building. Storage space for cleaning products, face clothes, paper towels, etc. Possable Northern exit, but for now the full sized refridgeratior would go there. bathroom pocet door - a space saver Closet pocket door, this one could be very thin, even a curain might do ok. Maybe a rug in the bedroom for when you get out of bed in the winter or fall before you put on the slippers.

Below is a sort of "floor plan" or "map" of the proposed new structure,
in its relationship to existing buildings at the homestead. A Garage is expected to be built also.


This is the building plan from above, click on it to go to that plan for more details.

Donations are greatly appreciated
this property is the physical center of the Combined Christian Conferrence and its ministry of prayer,
a concept given to Charlie Knight, and is his family home and the place he would like to live his last days in.

This serves as the home and business center of CREATIVE CONCEPTS, the design company for charlie knight.
