The Aperture

I create many things in my head, and I zoom into parts of my creations to go into detail. I created my dream home inside my head.

Inside my dream home there is a thing called the Aperture. It is a large empty space in the center of the building. The purpose of this space is to move stuff around the house. When it rains, rain water is collected in large water tanks. The tanks sit in Aperture of the house at the top next to the roof. The rain water is used by the showers and washing machines. The gray water that leaves the showers and washing machine goes into another tank to be used by the toilets. The gray water is hot at first but the heat leaves the tank and flows into the Aperture and is used by the rest of the house like a hot water bottle slowly convects heat into a bed. Most houses treat rain water and gray water as waste and flush it away but not my dream home. It uses both waters. There is still treated tap water but that is for the sinks and the water from the sinks is added to the gray water.

The dust bins work differently in the house. They are holes in the wall that lead to chutes that descend through the Aperture and down into the basement where they are collected in big bins. The bin holes are only present on the inner walls that are connected to the Aperture. There is different holes for different types of waste. Can holes and plastic holes and card and paper holes.

There are also chutes for laundry. They all collect in the basement away from the cars. I mentioned this before but I made up an in-house micro metro rail network and the tracks zig zag though the Aperture from the basement to the attic where the laundry room is and the man cave. So drinks and laundry are hulled up to the top of the house through the Aperture on a tiny train with 4 carriages that have 1 seat each. The tiny train stations have catchy names, Car's Park for the basement, south hall for the landing hallway, resident square for the bedroom floor and Washington station for the laundry room and man cave. (The basement doubles as a car park and collection area for recycling and laundry)

Holding everything together is metal scaffolding. There are cages that petrude into the Aperture and they are cupboards.
