“A friend of mine” is going to build a house and I would love to learn from CSrs around the world about their preferences.

For me I like minimalist but also I like traditional-adobe-houses in both cases small.

Having minimal floors on an upper level helps when you get older. But I still wish I had one room upstairs. Exercise doesn't hurt. dancing

Thanks Newinsouth!

People worry about stairs when growing old but as you have said as long as people can walk it is good to do some exercise.

Hi Boban!


Simple man??


I am afraid "that friend of mine" will not be able to afford that modest residence!!!


Also, water supply is very short and to think in a pool is an ecological sin uh oh

The county government is doing some fixing in the principal avenue of my town and they are placing "plastic grass" yes plastic on it because we have not enough water!

Now that's a neat tub. I like it. And it wouldn't be hard to do. I'd like a tiki hut on a tropical beach. Wouldn't need much inside cause you could do most things outside.bouquet
