  You climb down off the crate.
  
  You're inside an old barn, dimly lit by several windows near the
  roof line and the window that you squeezed through. The barn appears as if it houses a boat in the winter, judging by a boat trailer near the rear of the barn. Most of the room is occupied by various items, mostly worthless.
  
  Two large doors, which are closed, are to the south. A large wooden crate is here, under the barn window.
  You see a radio and a gas container here.

  You can barely reach the window. I'm sure if you had something else to stand on, it would make your job a lot easier.

  Inside the Barn, standing on the wooden crate
  You're inside an old barn, dimly lit by several windows near the

  Two large doors, which are closed, are to the south. You're currently standing on a large wooden crate, which is under the barn window.
  You see a gas container here.

  > Go west
  You climb up onto the crate.
  
  You jump up and grab the bottom of the window. You pull yourself up, squeeze through it and reach for the ladder.
  
  Top of the Ladder, Near Window
  You're standing at the top of a ladder, near the barn window which
  is directly north.
  
  You descend the ladder.
  
  Backyard, Near Barn
  You've made your way to the rear of the backyard. Directly north, a large barn stands before you and to the northwest, a path leads through some brush toward the water. The backyard is south. Leaning up against the barn is a ladder.
  You see a window screen, a can of coke, a note, and a beer here.
  
  You're standing in the middle of the backyard, which judging by the color of the grass, doesn't get too much water or fertilizer. A large barn can be seen to the north and to the west, is a small deck. The house is due south and is protected by thick trees and brush. The side yard can be accessed by going southwest or southeast.
  You see a portable TV here. The TV compartment seems to contain two
  C batteries.
  
  You're standing in the middle of the wooden deck. It's made of pressure-treated wood, but hasn't been cleaned in years. The color of the wood is a dark gray. In the corner of the deck is a gas grill that has rusted itself obsolete. To the east, stairs descend toward the backyard and to the south is the door to the family room, which is open.
  
  > get the chair
  You're in what is best described as a family room, though there is
  no entertainment center to speak of. The furniture in this room is rather sparse, yet cozy for this type of cabin. To the north, a door leads out to the deck and the kitchen is east.
  You see a chair here.
  
  Taken.

  Top of the Ladder, Near Window
  You're standing at the top of a ladder, near the barn window which
  is directly north.
  
  Seeing as you're going to need your hands to squeeze through the window, you'll never make it carrying a chair.
  
  > put the chair in the window
  You put the chair in the window and let it drop. A moment later you hear a it land with a loud bang.
  
  > Enter
  You squeeze through the window and then hang from it for a brief moment, trying to figure out the optimum landing area. You figure that the crate is your best bet and land on top of it.
