The places
Where the work happened
Nine homes held thirty-one places that were worked at. Seven had somewhere set up for the purpose; in three of those it was the place people stayed longest.
The thirty-one places
Every spot that was worked at in nine dwellings, how they divide, and why the count is a count of distinctions rather than of furniture.
Seven homes had somewhere set up for it
Seven of the nine dwellings contained a place made for working. In three of them it was where people stayed longest. In four it was not.
The four desks that were not the best place
In four dwellings the place set up for work held people for shorter stretches than somewhere else in the same home. What was beating the desk, and why.
The two homes with no desk
A one-bed flat and a bungalow, with nothing set up for work between them, sitting at opposite ends of every figure in the record.
Places that existed for a week
Three spots used on a single day, four used twice, and what improvised places reveal about the dwelling they appear in.
The kitchen table, in six homes out of nine
The most used surface in the record is the one the household eats at. What it is good at, and what ends a sitting on it at half past twelve.
What a place had to have to be used twice
Twenty-four places were used on three days or more and seven were not. Reading across the logs for what separates them, and admitting what that reading is worth.
Why the number of places predicts nothing
Two-place dwellings produced both the highest and the lowest failure rate here. The most obvious advice this study could give, unsupported.
