Houses

            In our small village, there are a couple of houses. There are 70 houses in Tête-à-la-Baleine. Most of them are built with a basement. There are many white houses, green houses, a couple blue and a couple orange and red. All the houses are heated up by wood stoves.Because of the temperature, the houses need to be well insulated. The houses on the island are well built, because even during storms, they do not fall. Also because, long time ago, during summer, they had to move the houses in the water between the village and the island. On average, there are two people in each house. A lot of houses are or are nearly centenary. A little more than 175 years ago, our ancestor began to built some houses everywhere. After they came here and they made the village. After, their houses started to improve. The oldest house doesn’t have the electricity upstairs. The rooms are very small and the wood stove are in the middle.
