Temo was glad he had left the door open when they entered the house and with the cross breeze that having the french doors open created, the smells in the house was decreased. He could see the dust that they stirred up drifting around through several shafts of sunlight that wandered inside and were making an attempt at brightening up the interior of the house.

As he reached the first door, he grasps the knob, turns it and pushes it open. What he saw was a smallish room that had a counter with a small basin with a roundish basin that had a squarish lidded box on top next to the counter. At the end of the room was a large open basin that was big enough he could sit in. The almost overpowering smell of dampness and rotten wood almost ran him over in it's attempt to escape what Temo realized the humans called a bathroom.

Temo stepped into the room and started to walk across the black and white checked floor. The squares matched the kitchen and it was obvious that they had used the same material for the bathroom floor. As he walked past the toilet, he noticed the floor felt spongy and it got worse as he got closer to the toilet. He carefully stepped his way to the window and opened it to let more air in.

When he turned around and looked, he could see that the floor under the toilet tank was totally rotten away when the water in the leaky tank slowly dripped out onto the floor and pooled. and he could see the pipes and beams underneath the floor through the holes. "This room will need a lot of repair work, mainly on the floor." he told Jace as she watched from the doorway as he moved about in the room.

Temo carefully made his way back to the door, staying on the far side of the room away from the toilet as he did not want to take the chance of falling through. "That big basin at the end of the room would be good for melting snow in during the winter storms and we can store meat in and food in here so we do not have to travel far from the house during the blizzards." he suggested his idea to Jace as he remembered about that blizzard they were caught out in last winter. "Shall we continue..." he motioned to for Jace to pick out a door.
