Your habitation contains the house you live in as well as any structures linked to it, such as a garage, deck, or porch. It also takes into account any built-in appliances you may have. For example, if you have a refrigerator, stove, and microwave in your kitchen, they are parts of your dwelling even though they are not visible from outside your home. Nowadays, most houses in the United States include some type of porch or outdoor living space. These can be an attractive feature for some people while others find them useless or even dangerous. In general, porches are used for relaxation or communication - two things that make people happy. A porch can be as simple as a flat board laid across two posts or it can be a nice outdoor room with furniture like a couch, chair, table, and more. In terms of structure, a porch is just like any other room inside your house. It has walls, a floor, and a roof. The main difference is that there are no doors connecting it to another room. Instead, a door leads out onto the porch. There may be windows too but they are usually only found in certain types of houses. People often think that having a porch makes their house bigger than it is. This is not true!
