One of alt.tv.simpsons' most revered and acclaimed documents shall
soon be revealed to you and a world that has not seen a previous
revision in almost four years. I am proud to announce a new release
of ``The Great Floor Plan Project''.
When you find yourself being hassled by a Star Trek Geek who can't
accept that Simpsons fandom is so much above their crappy interests,
just show them this...

``The Great Floor Plan Project''
by Chris Baird
> Introduction
What I propose in this file is an opinion of the most consistent arrangement
of the landmarks in the Simpsons' cosmos, as seen during the first and
seconds seasons, as deduced by myself and others.
Due to the continual character development and "evolution", much of the
information in this file is anachronistic.
Sometimes there will be some (often not so) subtle differences between this
model and what appears in a particular episode -- the animation directors can
draw on (groan) their privilege of artistic licence. (A good example of is
the positioning of Bart's bedroom above the Den in ``Dead Putting Society''.)
Due to overwhelming public demand, ``The Great Floor Plan Project'' has been
restructured into a Emacs outline mode savvy format in a similar fashion that
Raymond has used for the Capsules. Set the outline-regexp to ">+" as per
usual.
And to fend off another inevitable question: Yes, I'm aware of the linguistic
differences. For example, what I (as a New South Welshman) refer to as the
`Lounge room' is known as the `Den' or `Living room' by (some) North
Americans.
Important disclaimer: This has been the product of only few minutes work
every few weeks over the past year...
> Episode mnemonics
Throughout the project I occasionally refer to my own mnemonics of the
episode titles. Here's a list:

The Tracey Ullman shorts are all referred to by their production number.
(ie: MG#nn)
``Do the BartMan!'' {DtBm}
``Deep Deep Trouble'' {DDT}
``Bart vs. The Space Mutants video game'' {BvtSM}
``Life in Hell'' {LIH}
(and similarly for [C]hildhood/[W]ork/[Lo]ve/[S]chool is Hell)
Simpsons Illustrated {SI} The Australian publication {SIOz}
Rainy Day Fun Book {RDFB}
The Simpsons Uncensored Family Album {UFA}
> Non-living areas
>> The Simpson's Home Address
During ``Miss Lisa goes to Washington'', the address ``59 Evergreen
Terrace, Springfield, T.A'' appears briefly while Homer sorts through
the mail. This conflicts with the ``Simpsons Uncensored Family Album''
{UFA} which states it has ``73 Walnut Lane, Springfield, USA, 00205''.
One of the few consistent pieces of information from the UFA is their
phone number: 555-8707. Apart for one (in)famous incident, every
telephone number listed in the show and merchandise has the `555'
(KLondike-5) prefix, the standard fictional American telephone exchange.
It is however a valid one in Melbourne, Australia, but please don't
annoy the little old lady who lives there.
Where is Springfield? No -- I'm not going to touch that one!
(It's a state of mind!)

=====================================================================
Notes:
-- A wooden fence runs along Flanders' property and the back of the yard.
-- Usually two trees appear during the 'crane' shots of the house, but
Homer's hammock {7F06} requires a third, and occasionally a tree appears
near the back fence. In 7F04 there's a whole line of trees behind the
back fence.
-- For a really good look at the fence line and the backyard, see ``Hungry
are the Damned''.
-- The `gym-boree' appears in 7G04, 7F02, 8F14...
-- Maggie's wading pool appears in 7F02.
-- The Brick wall along the right-hand side of the property. How does Bart
manage to leap over this in the intro? Raymond Chen believes solution
appears (but not for the first time). In [8f12] we are given the answer
to how Bart manages to accomplish this-- there is a hill behind the wall.
Here's a side view: Front view:

-------------------
Dave Hall also observes:
It's interesting enough to review a handful of episodes to see if the
chimney is built with even spacing from the front to the back while directly
passing over the tip of roof. But, since we never see a good parallel view of
that side of the house...it's hard to tell. The placement of chimney
(regarding to front & back) is important because it determines the placement
of the window above the back door. For an example:
__ __
This is what I first thought || ||
this side of the house looks /||\ /||\
like, but it makes the / || \ ...But, if the side of / || \
window above the back door / || \ house was like this--> | || \

...where the stairs continue to a full-height door rather than a ceiling
entrance. (Thanks to rjc for the original diagrams.)
But _where_ is this room situated? The doorway rules out an entrance through
a ceiling, and the underside of the roof, and windows are on ortho sides of
the room. In 7F09, a stairway from the garage leads into an unknown room..
Junk strewn about the floor:
-- Sofa with a shoe iron on its seat.
-- A chest with a mirror and plastic ball besides it.
-- An old B/W TV? (a small oval mirror leaning against it)
-- A box of exercise equipment: (see the capsule)
- The Glutemus Maximiser
- Dr. Nick Riviera's Gym [set]
- ``Gee, your pecs look terrific''
- A Football jersey #17
-- A box with a broken trophy on top, a mounted moose head leaning against
it (with a broken antler), and a `Burns for Governor' sticker on the
side.
-- Cocktail umbrellas

Notes:
-- Hot water heater.
-- Washing/Drying machine with a bin at its side. Above it is a shelf of
(presumed) washing detergent.
-- Cement walls, hence below ground level. (Uh-oh, the Simpson family
could be at risk from untold hazards such as Radon gas and anything else
dumped into the environment by the SNPP...)
-- A wading pool (Maggie's?) in the centre of the room. A plank of wood
resting across the top of it.
-- Ladder against the wall.
-- There's either a large wooden box or a canoe behind the wading pool.
-- Assorted boxes everywhere.
-- Cracks in the cement wall.
-- Unpanelled walls and bare crossmembers above head-height.
-- A pole besides the stairway.
-- Inconsistent with ``Some Enchanted Evening'', where Bart climbed a
cupboard at the bottom of the stairway in attempting to subdue Ms. Botz
with a bowling ball.
Keep an eye out for the cellar that the dog runs through in ``Family Dog''...
A coincidence or what?

+---------~~~~~---------+
| |
| |
| |

| |
| |
+--+ +--+
-- In the Introduction, Homer runs for his life through a exit into the
house.
-- The automatic door: In the first season this swung open, in the 2nd and
3rd it winds up. (An obvious flaw with the `Raiders' sequence in 8F22.)
Objects:
-- A power box (or maybe a safe?) to the left of the doorway.
-- A spare tire and shelves appear during the intro and {L'P}.
-- Homer's workbench occasionally appears {I&S&M,SoT}. {rjc}
-- In ``Old Money'', Bart mention that Abe smells like the trunk in the
garage with the wet bottom. This appears in {L'P}.
1st season:
-- Oil slick
-- Lisa abandons her bike, which rolls into the garage on its own power.
{rjc}
-- Partition.
-- Bicycle (probably Homer's).
-- Black and yellow boxes at the rear of the garage.
2nd season:
-- The partition has been removed
-- A rake leaning against the back wall, 2 large boxes, and a tool rack.
When Marge tries to run Homer over during the introduction, the two large
boxes are missing, but when Homer makes his escape through the door the black
and yellow boxes from the 1st season are there.
> Ground level
So amazingly consistent... I wonder whose home this is really modelled after?
One suggestion that it's none-other than Tracey Ullman's own residence (seen
during a TV special). The path from the kitchen through two other rooms and
into the foyer is practically identical, and so is the view from the Lounge
room towards the staircase. Another suggestion is the house from ``War of the
Roses'' (another Gracie Films production).

-- Drawers near to the entrance to the cellar (doesn't appear in 7G08).
-- a grandfather clock next to the entrance to the living room in 7G08.

entrance to the cellar in the garage would be majorly inconsistent with
everything else, IMO).

-- The second and third seasons have a green refrigerator, with a painting
of a house on the door.
-- A Microwave oven near the exit to the TV room. (Presumably so the family
can heat up their dinner without having to move too far from the tube?)
-- Colour scheme: dark grey ceiling, light grey walls, chequered floor.
Objects and utensils on the kitchen benchtops: (BDgaF, and several others).
-- Blender
-- Spice Rack {I&S&M,HA}
-- Toaster (single slice) {BVdK}
-- Spoons in a container

-- Fork rack
-- Microwave oven
-- Paper towel dispenser {WotS}
-- Cornflour/cornstarch canisters
-- Oven (4 hot plates) {in the 1st season it was a gas model}
-- Exhaust hood above the oven
-- A corkboard besides the fridge, often with an abstract portrait of Bart.
-- Dishwasher besides the sink, and dish-rack.
-- The sink has two tubs.
-- Cookbook
-- Curtains (with a carrot pattern?)
Ornaments in the corner of the room:
-- Recessed shelves
-- A corner table with a ceramic chook
-- Above the table is a three-tiered macrame pot plant holder (& plants)
-- A clock with a star-shaped face
>> Rumpus room
{BtGen,3MaCB,RB}
{Dave Hall}
The room behind the Garage, (I think you call it a "Rumpus" room), seems to
be a play room in "Lisa's Pony", and Homer was seen sitting in a bean-bag
chair, watching a small T.V set in this room in "Three Men and a Comic Book".
It also appears in "Bart the General" and "Separate Vocations".

>> Miscellaneous
In {WotS}, a small room appears underneath the Top hallway and in front of
the kitchen. Is this also where the closet Homer places his `Assassin'
shoes (7f14) and Marge's birthday bowling ball? (7g11)
The front door has a Turkey-head-shaped door knocker.

Dave Hall has also noticed after careful scrutiny of the dimensions of the
house (while attempting to construct a paper model of it[!]), there appears to
be a discrepancy with the level of the top hallway and the windows outside.
>> The Stairway
-- The front door is near the bottom of the stairs.
-- Several pictures (Baby Bart, one of Marge's ancestors, Bart&Lisa..)
-- Foot mat at top of stairs.
-- A chandelier (but not quite as extravagant has the one from "War of the
Roses").
>> Top hallway
In ``Lisa's Substitute'', Marge carried a very tired Maggie into the end room
of the hallway (Maggie's bedroom?)
>>> Bart's room
Bart can usually reach a nearby tree from his room window {BvT} but sometimes
he has to make a jump for it {BtDD,FM..} When it hasn't been necessary to
relocate Bart's room, the following fits:

In several episodes (``Jacques to be Wild'', ``Simpson & Delilah'', ``One

bathroom. Dave Hall suggested that for this to be consistent with his model
of the top floor, that a second bathroom would exist. (Bourgeois middle-
class Americans..)
