His mother’s house hadn’t changed appreciably in the past forty years; it was a two story white shiplapped-maple boarded structure with matching off-white trim on the woodwork. The broad antebellum-style porch, which ran around the entire front of the structure and two-thirds of the sides, had originally been constructed with a subflooring of waterproofed two-by-fours covered with a diagonally-laid finish layer of one-inch maple boards that were tongue and grooved together and blind-nailed into the asphalt sheet covered pine subflooring. The maple boards had then been sanded to a mirror flatness and had been stained a rich nutty brown before the boards had been sealed with five coats of varnish.
