It looks like they live in a community development, possibly a gated community. These newer communities place a structure outdoors that contains all the mailboxes for all the homes in some central location. Usually, in the suburbs, they have a mailbox by the street in front of your home or by your door.
Las Vegas is a desert with lots of sand. Sand is very bad for carpet. Las Vegas houses are designed a lot like beach resorts where often the floors are wood or tiles to make it easier to deal with how much sand there is.
No, Andre, the garbage disposal is real. There is a small chamber in the plumbing under the sink. It's like a blender or food chopper under the sink Turn it on and it makes small pieces that go down the drain. [WARNING : no metal, glass or bones; only soft food]
We 99% have a door to our bathrooms in a master suite u might not have a door but u do have a door to the toilet in the master suite so yes u get ur privately when u want it but if u both share a bed then we don't worry about u seeing one shower but YES U HAVE PRIVATE toilet always!!
Yeah, I've never seen any bathroom or ensuite that didn't have a door. That would be just be weird. I don't want to take a poop while other people are walking or standing around
I live in a poor area where people are building "houses" out of second hand truck trailers stuck together and hollowed out on the inside. Also common are mobile homes, prefabricated homes transported to your prepared lot on wheels and then anchored to the ground. So there's really no "typical" American home.
I’ve never out a whole large fruit down the garbage disposal 😂 Only small food scraps. I also avoid putting in pasta, rice, etc. Preindustrial Asian people used rice as glue for a reason!
No, they live in Las Vegas. That's a desert area, so the architecture and materials are for that climate. Mail delivery in the US depends on where you live. In the older cities on the East Coast, mail is delivered right to your front door, either through a mail slot or a Mailbox mounted on the wall next to the door. In outer suburbs and rural areas, the mail is delivered to a typical mailbox on a post. However, they live in a new housing development outside Las Vegas. They have something that's new to the US called "Cluster Mailboxes". They are usually located close to the entrance of the housing development.
Cluster mailboxes have existed for decades. In high rise and other multi family dwellings and buildings in older cities on the east coast you’ll find mailboxes clustered somewhere in the building usually near the entrance. The only thing new about those clusters mailboxes are that they are for single homes. But even that isn’t entirely new there are some older rural communities where the mail is delivered to cluster boxes and not directly to the home
In the 1950s and 60s, covering wood floors with carpeting was the "modern" thing to do. Virtually every older home had the original oak floors carpeted. Then around 2000, it became fashionable to have hardwood floors again. As always, fashion trends swing back and forth.
Carpet in the 60s worked to our advantage. We purchased a 1965 built home for our retirement, which had carpet throughout. When the carpet was removed the original wood floors were revealed. Hardwood floors in the 50s and 60s are very different from today. They could be described as a work of art. Two-inch planks of differing lengths were used. A true craftsman laid these floors.
As far as building materials and home style, dont forget the US developed from east to west so the majority of older homes are found in the east part of the country.
95% of houses in the US have mail service directly to your door or driveway. It’s very odd to have to walk to get your mail unless you live in apartment complex. Must be a Las Vegas thing. Also, in terms of the back yard or garden: they live in the desert, so you’re not generally gonna have an English-style garden unless you specifically want to have the expense of keeping it alive in summer. In some places, like Vegas, there are strict watering restrictions due to the whole desert thing. Same with the carpet. I think it’s less common out West to have carpet because of the climate. Carpet has also gone out of fashion here over the last 20 years, or so, and Las Vegas has a lot of new construction, so it’s probably less common.
As sunsinger commented, it depends on where you are and the population density. There's are many parts of the US with no delivery. It's not uncommon to find a Post Office in a smaller village with no delivery service. The residents will each have a PO box in the Post Office, and walk/drive to the PO to get their mail. 95% probably is accurate, if you're counting people (and the claim was houses, so yeah). If you measure by area of the country, it's probably closer to 80%.
@@jamesbulldogmiller I don't have mail delivery at my place in the country, I just go with a PO Box, Quite frankly, my husband has siblings that go through the mailboxes, I just refused to put one out. With online shopping and UPS/FedEx, etc., don't need it. BUT my driveway is 1/2 a mile long, so I may not go check the mail for several days. UPS/FedEX come to the door.
@@jamesbulldogmiller Yeah, I’m in NC and you either get your mail at the door if it’s an urban area, or you get it in the classic US MAIL box on the curb if it’s suburban or rural. The only time you’d have to walk a significant distance to your mailbox is if you live in an apartment complex or something. Obviously there are excepting to this, as people have noted above, if you live in an extreme rural or urban area, but generally speaking the mail is within 50 yards of your door. My sisters literally comes through a slot in the front door just like they showed in the video. I live in a smaller town and I have the standard US MAIL box with the red flag on it at the street.
Europe is also much poorer (with the exception of Switzerland.) You've destroyed yourselves economically, militarily and socially with Socialism, and you've deprived your children and grandchildren of a brighter tomorrow.
9:36 the 'rule of thumb' in the U.S. is that 1 full bathroom (bath/shower in the bath room) for ever 2-3 bedrooms. so 4 bedrooms need at least 2 full bathrooms and 5 bedrooms might have 3 full bathrooms. Now, if the 'Master' bedroom has an En Suit bathroom, there will be at least another bathroom for other bedrooms, and the Master bedroom no longer counts in the 1 for every 2 bedroom rule... so 1 master w/bathroom and 1 bedroom will have a second bath for the other bedroom. we also have 'half bathrooms' that are just sink and toilet. but those don't count towards bedrooms, they are just placed in convenient spots. like if you have an upstairs where all the bedrooms are and there are no bedrooms downstairs, there will be a 1/2 bath downstairs.
As someone who used to do plumbing for a living, you can put things in the disposal but putting too much will eventually cause back ups in your pipes and occasionally you will either you have to snake your drain yourself or call a plumber.
I live in Tampa, Florida and it gets very hot and humid here and air conditioning is pretty much necessary. I’m surprised that Portugal isn’t the same since I thought it got very warm there often.
Homes come in all shapes and sizes here. My house is 1,137 SF. Two bedrooms, one bath, kitchen (no garbage disposal). No, you don’t put diapers down the garbage disposal! Back to the house. Hardwood floors throughout. Dining room, sun porch. Mailbox is on the house. Built in 1927.
typically there are many historic and cultural difference in home designs depending on what region of the U.S. you are in. originally local materials were used because they couldn't just ship in anything they wanted and also some designs were dictated by the local weather patterns (thicker walls up north due to deep winters, stucco or mud walls in the South Western to keep out heat in the desert, ect...) this didn't apply to major cities (like NY) because they could ship materials from other places and they modeled their designs on older European homes. thus you'll find more 'row houses' and brick built homes there and other major cities in the U.S. followed theses designs. Also, you'll find smaller 'footprint' homes in the big cities, but they typically have multiple floors because there isn't much space to spread out, but you can spread up. while in more rural areas, homes then to be 1 or 2 floors only and spread out sideways more so the 'footprint' is wider.
re: varying house designs First, they'll vary a lot by climate. Houses in warmer climates, will tend to be very different from houses in cooler climates. Second, don't think of the US as a monolith. There's very little of building code and regulations at the Federal level, that's usually handled at the State and Local level. Third, they will vary based on what public utilities are available. If there is public water and sewer, the density of buildings can be higher, but if there's no public water and sewer it's common to find minimum 1 acre lot sizes. This in turn affects the house layouts and sizes. If you have 1/4 acre lots, you find more multi-story houses to maximize yard space, and if the lots are larger you tend to find more sprawling one-story houses.
7:37 Andre, you do not pause too often. You pause exactly as needed, to witness new things. If people think you pause too much, that means they're not looking forward to your reactions... That is the only reason I am here is to see somebody who has never seen it before
Those people must be very wealthy, because their house is really enormous, even by American standards. And they mentioned that *every* house they looked at had 3-5 bathrooms…? Yeah, those are Rich People houses. I have only ever known one person who had three bathrooms in their house, and one of those was only a 'half-bath' (meaning it had a toilet and a sink, but no bath or shower). My own home has two bathrooms, and I think that's much more common.
Two and a half baths are common in newer two-story homes here, and by newer I mean in the past twenty-five years or so. We're not exactly rich, but our condo has two and a half bathrooms.
They live in a neighborhood that doesn't allow mailboxes on the street and have a central location for everyone's mail. It's usually at the entrance so you stop on your way in
The older I get the more I like my single level house with a small backyard ,small garden,easy walk just a few steps to the mailbox. Things to keep in mind. Carmen
One needs to remember.There are 300 million people in the United States.Everyone likes different types of flooring material.S some light carpets some do not adjust various from very some person the person
Sink disposal is for food only, since you've probably never seen one. No we don't have the drainer in the sink, we have two sinks and a drainer can be purchased to go on the counter next to the sink and you can move it to the other side if it's better for you rather than set in place. Or if you don't have many you can just leave the dishes in the second sink to dry. We raised 5 kids in this house, 1 girl (bathroom #1) 4 boys (bathroom #2) and us (bathroom #3), believe me it was necessary just to be able to go potty. All my bathrooms have doors...lol. I live in Arkansas and we have not only a wood house but a wood sided house, built 1930. Yes, my husband is a builder and insists on keeping the wood siding he said if you trade out for vinyl then you can't see the damage underneath and it can get bad before you know it's a problem. We have our mail on a post on our front porch, new mail goes in the top, mail to leave goes in the basket under. The only walking is out the front door. No carpets here... dogs...lol
I do electrical and drywall in long Island n.y and new homes I worked in has bathrooms in every bed room plus 2 or 3 more in parts of the main areas of the house. I worked on a home that I counted 7 in one home
The houses they were showing were Nevada homes so near Las Vegas, where they live alot of those homes from there and Arizona and some parts of Texas look like that and they are very different than the ones on the East Coast
A bathroom in each bedroom is common. If you have five bedrooms, each of those will have its own bathroom. If people don't have to share a bathroom and take turns, they're not going to, especially not in their own homes. There are also bathrooms near the family room, den or living room, which makes six, though those are often half baths, which means they only have a toilet and a sink. Many large bathrooms in the master suite will have a water closet, which means the toilet is inside its own little room, that is also inside the main portion of the bathroom. My brother's house for example - He and his wife have a large bedroom with a door that leads to the upper deck off to the left. If you turn to the right, you walk a few steps and go into the bathroom. To your right is the bathtub, behind that is the huge separate shower, next to that are the two sinks (his and hers) under a large mirror. Under the long counter with the sinks are the storage areas. Turn to the right and walk over to the entrance for the his and hers walk-in closets. It's divided into two sections. You enter and there's a bench and places to hang your coat or whatever on hooks, like you'd see in a foyer or mud room/porch, turn left and go to his closet or turn right and go to hers. Coming from the closest and looking to the left again in the bathroom, there's a built-in vanity table and chair for my sister-in-law to put on her makeup, and next to that is the water closet where the toilet is hidden and private. There's also a little sink, but not nearly as large as the two main sinks in the main part of the bathroom. Next to that is the towel/linen closet behind the entrance door. They have an entire second home downstairs, which is called by some "a mother-in-law's suite" (when people would have theirs to move in with them) or guest suite, with the laundry room, a giant storage room, two storage freezers for all the meats my brother likes to barbecue, around the corner is the actual suite with its own door to/from outside, a small kitchen area, living room, two bedrooms, one bathroom, another spare room which is now his music room, and a safety room in case of tornadoes. The attic is for storing holiday decorations, and whatever else. When it comes to different styles of homes in the US, vs other countries, you have to realize that this is an extremely diverse country in many ways, so if I want a house built to look like a house in Italy, and my neighbor wants hers to look like it was shipped over from Finland, we can do that. We can choose whatever style as long as it passes the codes for the location. I live in Alabama and I drive daily past a set of neighbors whose homes are extremely different. One is a white plantation-style mansion, while the other is all glass on one side and part of the corner of the house, and it's white with black trim and a flat top. About 15 miles away from me, there's a huge three-storey log chalet-style, and it's just for one family. I'm in the process of redesigning my grandparents' house to be remodeled and definitely enlarged, because I want it to be much bigger and have walk-in closets and more than one bathroom. I'm proud of my granddad for building the house from scratch for his family in 1950, and I do want to keep some of the work intact. He even built a fireplace. 🙂
i used to have wall-to-wall carpeting in rooms, especially the bedrooms, but now i go with laminate wood floors (or tile in the bathrooms) and use area rugs - much easier to clean and change decor of a room by just buying a new rug...
We have diaper dispensers that take care of the smell and they get disposed very easy. We all have bathroom doors. This particular home they spoke of must have no door because the homeowner preferred that. But it’s not normal. We have over 3000 square feet on our main floor and another 3000 in our basement which is totally finished and furnished. We have 3 bathrooms.
Like you said the outside design of the house varies by state and neighborhood, and the age of the construction.The big white house shown in the video is average in areas like Virginia where I lived for a few months with 3 - 8 acres of land, for the same price as a small apartment here in Florida.
There's an entryway to the bathroom it's open, but the toilet has its own room. within the bathroom, and that area has a door. The bathroom also has the closets
Some older American homes have the sink/drain board, in the 1950s hardwood floors where the thing, 1960 to 1990 carpets was the flooring choice, 1990 to now hardwood floors are back in style.
Most bathrooms have doors. I’m sure one could be added if they chose. I have 2 1/2 bathrooms- a master bath and a hall bath upstairs, and a 1/2 bath downstairs. I grew up in a 900 square foot house with three bedrooms and one bathroom. My parents added a new kitchen so it’s bigger now, but still one bathroom, which is woefully inadequate when the whole family is there. My daughter’s home is about 750 square feet (one bathroom), which is plenty for and her two cats. My home is something over 1500 square feet with technically three bedrooms (one bedroom is tiny). I was not looking for that much room although I definitely wanted a room that my college aged son could call his until he graduated. Now I have a proper guest room. You add rugs to hardwood to make the rooms cozy. I hate carpet for two main reasons. One, they are difficult to keep clean. Two, they collect dust and mites that exacerbate allergies.
I'm American and have designed some great functional homes for me and my family; however, I must confess that I adore the character and personality of many European houses and flats. 😊
In the midwest, separated garages and garches with are just attcached on the end are more common. Yes the design they show in that video is pretty specific to the Southwest.
There are hundreds of different designs of homes you will find more traditional homes on the east coast and probably the center of the country and very beautiful traditional single homes in the suburbs a round large cities. You'll see more contemporary homes like in California or desert regions
Usually houses are smaller than what they are talking about. We have a 3 bedroom 2 bath. I have lived in homes with 1 bathroom. We don’t have an en-suite bathroom.
Carpet vs Hardwood ebbs and flows over time. Currently, asthma and allergies have been on the rise, fueling a big swing away from carpet. Carpets gather and keep all sorts of harmful crap, and vacuuming isn't sufficient. So you rent a professional cleaner, or hire a company, and you see just how much crap as the nasty brown water comes out of your carpet. Even that cleaning isn't a ful clean, and as oon as you're done, the carpet starts gathering crap again. Built a new house in 92 - carpets in the bedrooms. Upsized in 99 (kids poppin out) and put hard surfaces everywhere except for Berber carpert in the finished basement - the slab was always chilly.
We have 3 bathrooms in our two story...open bathroom plan in the master bedroom with no door, but to have privacy, you just close your room door. 😊 I live in California and I have a huge garden with fruit trees, vegetable garden, ponds....like she said, depends on who you are and what you want in your backyard. No diapers down the disposal. 😂
They live in Las Vegas, the Desert Southwest Region of America. So naturally, hardwood floors are going to be more prevalent. However, in the Northeast Region, especially in New England, the houses will almost always have carpeting in the bedrooms. The living area will be either. Of course, the kitchen is almost always going to be hardwood of some kind or even tile, but very very rare. I do know that tile floors are very much the norm in Florida, but it makes sense considering the year-round heat and humidity associated with Florida's tropical climate.
A lot of homes and especially apartments, you're going to find carpeting. Hardwood flooring is a preference depending on if you're building, remodeling or it's a new build where the designer chose not to put down carpeting. The buyer can then add the carpeting themselves. It's not standard to have hardwood flooring. I would prefer it as she said, carpet in the bedrooms and hardwood everywhere else. Less maintenance/cleaning to deal with.
This couple is living in Las Vegas. Las Vegas is in the middle of a desert where water is a premium. So those who have yards don't even have grass because the cost of water and the regulation on its use means your lawn will be dead. In Vegas yards are landscaped more like patios or recreation areas with no grass.
A diaper, no, that does not go down the food disposal. That is used for food waste, such as what you leave on your plate. I would not recommend it for chicken bones but some have slipped down there before in the machine has been fine. Anything hard such as peach pits, unpopped popcorn, nuts and seeds or anything really string you such a celery is not advisable. Basically fruits, nuts and the occasional small piece of meat. By the way, it's easy enough for you to have one of these at home. All you have to do is order one online and make sure you have a power converter to plug it into. We typically have a dedicated light switch to turn it on but that can be adapted if you wanted to simply flip a switch on a dedicated power strip. Not the best way to go though, a dedicated outlet is the best choice.
Average American home has two bathrooms one for the master bedroom and one usually called the guest bathroom, and the bathrooms do have doors not having them is like a choice
New homes that are about 2100 sq ft will have at least 2 and a half bathrooms. Larger homes will have more bathrooms. Also, you are correct, it depends on your state, city, town, things vary from location to location. In terms of mail, my box is at the street, some are on the side of the house. Things vary.
no 3 is best 1 for parents 1 for kids and staying overnight guests and 1 extra one is in case both are occupied or in case you have guests over that are staying for a party or a dinner for just a few hours and the last bathroom I listed for guests coming over for a few hours that bathroom might be a full bathroom or a half where the shower is left out since its just for guest and people to go potty in when downstairs
As a general rule, older cities on the US east and Gulf coasts are generally more European in their feel than in more recently developed US cities, like Las Vegas. Land is more limited. Houses are smaller and, in general, much older. My house in Providence, RI, was built in 1837, and it's the newest house on the block. Even at its original size it was much smaller than modern American homes, and it's since been divided into four apartments. I am an single older man, so it suits me to live in a small place, but it would be difficult for a family to live in an apartment like mine. In older US cities parking is very limited. My family moved to NYC from the midwest in 1961. Within two years my parents sold the car. It was too expensive to park it and the traffic in Manhattan was so bad that it was quicker to take the subway or walk. If we needed a car for a particular trip, we rented. In dense US cities mail is delivered either through a mail slot in the door or, in apartment buildings, mail boxes in the building lobby. We don't have the "typical" American mail boxes. Most people who live in hot climates prefer hard floors to carpet. They're cooler in the summer. Where I live in New England, which is hot in the summer and very cold in the winter, many people will put rugs down in the winter to help the house keep warm and have a "cozy" feel, but they take them up once the weather starts getting warmer.
Northern US has a lot of carpeting. In the southern US, a lot of houses have tiles instead of hardwood floors, because more southern houses have pools. The modern house pictures the British couple showed during their explanations of garages were in Las Vegas (which have a lot of tiles). As for the bathroom situation, lol, the example they showed without a door, you will only find in the master bedroom, not in the rest of the house. My friends who just bought a new house in Las Vegas has a bathroom by the front door (just a sink and toilet), a bathroom in the basement, a bathroom beside the kitchen on the main floor, the master room, the second largest bedroom has an ensuite, and a another bathroom for the other two bedrooms. This is normal in Vegas lol. Just found your channel, I love your content and reactions! Al the best
The US has all different kinds of mail. They have mailboxes. At the house. 4 apartments. The have a stack of mailboxes. They have doors slots. And in the US you can mail your outgoing mail from your box. Without going to the Post Office.
We bought a brand new home just outside of Kansas City in 2016 (when the economy was humming) for 311k. Two story with a finished basement. About 3400 square feet. 5 bedrooms 4 full bathrooms and one half bathroom. Large fenced in backyard perfect grilling out and entertaining. Our dream kitchen with a large island that is open the living room. American homes are amazing and can be very affordable in certain parts of the country! Would love to show you around our beautiful city if you travel here someday! KC Chiefs game will blow your mind! 😊
And as far as the mail, some houses have the mail shoot in their door some have mailboxes where they’re living is like a community housing area so there’s a central location for mail
Not everyone in the US has a huge home. It usually depends on how much money you make. Some live in small apartments and some live in luxury apartments. Various styled homes. The rich and famous most often live in mansions. The builder of our house (1980), did not install a garbage disposal. My Dad’s Mom had a room off from the kitchen turned it into a pantry. We have two small pantry areas. Bathrooms - one master bathroom that is off from the master bedroom. The main bathroom - not attached to any particular bathroom (commode, sink, and bathtub/shower); and a mini bathroom off from the kitchen. It has a commode, sink and area for washer/dryer.
I would say diapers down the garbage disposal is a very bad idea. The pail outside is a fine idea. Older houses have fewer bathrooms. Newer homes have more. And you're correct houses do change from region to region as far as insulation, patios carpeting... But home styles change by the age of the home and the styles in vogue.
You’re right that different regions in the US have very different home styles although there is a lot of variation now. Older homes don’t usually have a garage unless they were very expensive, homes from the 60’s and 70’s often have carports (an attached and covered, with 2-3 open sides, space to park. The large 2-story home you liked is a colonial style often seen in the South.
The garbage disposal is for food waste ONLY M8 I had to remind my English friend that too, i came home from work to find 2 dozen hardboiled eggs an entire bag of baby carrots the last piece of bday cake and a Dutch oven full of spaghetti and beef all missing and him sitting there with a shit eating grin on his face.
There are places or subdivisions where a group of homes do have a centralized postal box. It is efficient, but ours is delivered or picked up by the postman to our mailbox next to the street. I have never seen a bathroom without a door here. Our house is relatively small, but we had a 2 1/2 car garage built 10 feet from the house because the insurance rates are less than having one attached. There's only the two of us and we use the spare bedrooms as an office and a sewing room. Love a big garage. My sister has 2 baths. She has carpets and regular floors. She also has a central vacuum cleaner where she just attaches the hose/attachment to a port in the wall. I think a big thing this couple are dealing with is a very warm climate. Having a garden would require lots of water and wouldn't be very efficient. We live in Michigan and have a garden in parts of the backyard, but also room for other things.
I have been looking at Portuguese houses lately and while very different from USA houses, they are quite beautiful. Many have similar square footage and land. Kitchen sinks in USA are quite often double sinks. Do you really want to take up more counter space with a drain board? As far as garage disposals; “food only” and this ends up in your pipes. I have 4 1/2 bathrooms. But my home is 5800 square feet with 6 bedrooms. Also, close your bedroom door for bathroom privacy. Many master suite bathroom have the toilet in a water closet. Carpet is warmer but harder to keep clean. I would much rather have hardwood. You are so much fun to watch.
The US has carpeted and hard wood. It just depends what you want. And if you want to change it. You just go to the hardware store or call carpet people. Or floor people. Carpet shampooers. In the US aren't that expensive. or you can just rent them.
the floor varies from house to house, depending on the area and type of home, for big development is up to the contractors and the budget. both are popular options.
We have our laundry room in our very large bathroom. We just put in a 50” x 50” shower. I also have a large bookcase, drop leaf table along with a long table for folding laundry and plenty of open space. One living room is 26’5” x 20’2”, the other one is 13’1” x 30’1”. Our kitchen is a nice size, 13’9” x 21’5”. I sometimes still wish we had more space!
While I am sure it exists, of the thousands of homes I have been to around the US, only a handful had some type of bathroom that didn't have a door. Either it was more of a utility bathroom in the basement or a bathroom attached to a master bedroom. Even then that's rare.
U are right our homes are different cuz the climate is so different it's lk if u when to a different Continent, you forget that the United States is so huge. You can be in New England. Go to Hawaii. Install be in the same country so obviously our houses would be different because we have so much different weather to every part of our country
In FL, there is no real dirt.. it's like a coral reef in many ways. But in WI, where I grew up, almost all homes have basements.. some are musty and damp.. but many have rec-rooms and laundry room in basements, and it's very finished. Now I'm in a 7 yrs old, nice one story, open concept home in retirement community.. There is no basement because it's ROCK!!! So it's not practical to have a basement.. of course, as with anything you can find them is you search.
Most American homes usually have 2 bathrooms and there is a door to separate the en suite bathroom from the bedroom for privacy. For me, a pantry is a must have! As is air conditioning! Living in Texas, it gets hot here in summer. It’s needed from late May through September. Most new homes have wood/fake wood looking floors throughout. After living with carpet throughout and having pet dogs or cats, the carpet had to go!
We have a mail box in front of our homes here in Oklahoma generally. My daughter lives in Ohio, and they have a station where all the letter boxes are and each home is assigned a box with keys. Lots of people have carpet, or wood through the house,and carpet in the bedrooms. It varies depending on when the home was built, or remodeled.
You can put most anything in a garbage disposal but certain things are not recommended: cooking oil/bacon grease (it coagulates), bones, potato skins, and a few other things.
On suites ofter do have doors on them, out west in nevada no doors are a regional style choice, for mail we usually have a mail box at the end of our driveways, different states have different ways of doing things, best to look at each state individually and by regions, even then there're many versions of homes and communities with in them
Me and my 3 brothers used to live in the same room of a two bed house. Was amazing looking back. When we left and moved in to a house where we each could have our own room if felt like we lived in a castle.
You CAN put banana peels in the disposal, but you shouldn't. Nothing big and fibrous. It will go down OK until the day comes, fairly soon, that it doesn't, and then you're out $300 bucks for a plumber to unscrew your mistake. Handy DIYers can unscrew it. I'm moderately handy and I replaced one that died.
Andre- I really think you would enjoy Geography King. He goes into each state in depth." Oregon state profile" shows a lot of beautiful scenery and food!
I live in a 750 sqft house... that is super small for the US. Its meant for only 1-2 people. Usually a dingle perso or a young couple starting out... or retired couple downsizing.
a lot of newly built homes don't have carpet and a lot of older homes are being renovated and the carpet is taken out but we still have a lot of homes with carpet our condo and our apartment has loads of carpet from the living room to bedrooms and hallways only in the kitchen and bathroom and maybe by the front door is there no carpet in carpeted homes and of course, no carpet in the garage or maybe no carpet in the pantry and laundry room and maybe in the attic too but otherwise plenty of American homes have carpet its just certain types that have it and that don't
Here (In Ohio) it comes either through the door flap, or in the mailbox just outside your front door, or more likely next to your driveway. Not in Nevada... it's not really a 'garden' type style (not nearly enough RAIN). Same w/ next door Arizona. Not true, Andre, my (Great) Aunt Billie had a car park off her kitchen. (She passed years back - hence the had, not has). Also, some de4ar friends of ours (2 couples actually, one in Marysville, one in Urbana... oh and my grandmother's cousin's home) all have garages off their kitchens....
