We have rented both sides of a duplex with each side being identical. They are connected via the main floor, the 3rd floor balcony, the back doors to the stairs and the roof. There are 2 kitchens, 10 bedrooms, 12 bathrooms, and 2 big rooms that we will use as a library and a classroom.
We are going to have closets made for each student to have a space for their personal belongings. We have measured all the rooms and we can accommodate 32 students, 16 on each side with each having a closet. There will be a big up front investment to buy things like a fridge, stove, tables, chairs, dishes, cutlery, utensils, cleaning supplies etc. Donations are most welcome at www.clewcanada.ca/donate/ !
There is already a bit of a garden behind the house with lemongrass, spices, fruit and mango trees. This obviously belongs to the landlord but hopefully they won't mind if our girls add their own garden.
