If you use your kitchen to COOK then an open concept can lead to problems. I've seen too many new condos with open concept kitchens that have no ventilation or windows. Good luck trying to impress your dinner guests when you are having a fish fry.

I've got this problem when I forget to to turn on my recirc while cooking anything smokey. The smoke detector is about 20 feet away on a facing wall and very sensitive, and linked whole house.

At least they get tested pretty regularly.

Talk about Garagezilla reminded me of the Duggar house.

Don't hate. Y'all are just jealous of their PALATIAL CUSTOM BUILT MANSION.



Interior is predictable white dude bad taste, lots of light stained wood, brass, mismatched trim and I particularly like the horrid black railing destroying anything visually interesting about the ceiling vault. But I GUAR RON TEEEEEE that those countertops are 'granite'



WE GOT A TV MOUNTED RIGHT IN THE WALL!


e- rant removed. Duggars and other Quiverfull idiots make me Hulk out.

How do they afford a house like that?

That was the substance of my rant. It's pretty much subsidized by donations from other idiots in the Quiverfull movement who know that the Duggars are the public face of the "breed breed breed" idea. There's no way a normal person could feed 19 kids on anything but a millionaire's bank account, much less build a white trash pleasure palace.


But that's a rant for another forum. Sorry to digress.

The worst was when a marina built a massive three story tall, 200 foot long storage building for people who want their boats out of the weather over the winter. There was a ton of complaints and debates, and articles in the paper, but in the end it was their right to do it. Now the landscape for a few KM each way is dominated by this structure.

Let me tell you about the cleansing power of fire
