Living Arrangements at the Woodcraft Hall
All of the living quarters for the apprentices are located on the same wing, but are separated by a thick wooden door that can be easily closed, though left open during the day. The apprentice quarters are dormitory style: each room holds six apprentices and is furnished with six beds and three desks. There are six of these rooms, three on each side of the hall. At either end of these rooms are bathing rooms. Water for bathing is heated through a clever furnace system, and the water is pumped by the motion of the water wheel that powers the sawmill.
The journeyman quarters are more apartmentlike, each housing two people and furnished with two beds and two desks. There are eight of these apartmentswith a bathing room shared between every pair of two rooms.
There is also another building away from the main Hall that houses any journeyman with a spouse. These rooms are exact replicas of the journeymen's quarters in the Hall, but with private bathing rooms, though the water is not as warm.
The Masters' quarters are in the opposite wing from the apprentice and journeyman quarters. There are six of these as well. These are private rooms, and are well furnished compared to the other rooms, each holding a bed, a desk, and a couch for visitors to sit upon. Each room has a private bathing room.
The Hallsecond's and Master of Apprentice's quarters are at the end of the hall where the Master's rooms are located. Each of these has a front office, and a living area set behind it. Each has its own bathing room and the best supply of warm water.
The Hallmaster's rooms are the most luxurious of all; they are set about twenty feet from the main entrance of the Hall. The first room is just an office, lined with a light wood, with shelves lining the walls and containing a heavy wooden desk. The room behind it is for visitors who are friends of the Hallmaster or for those apprentices and journeymen who need a little comforting. This room has a couple of plush couches and a beautifully woven rug. The bedroom and bathing room are just to the right of the visitor's room, but the heavy door between them is usually shut, keeping nosey people out.
