[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Every one I've been in has been cold and impersonal feeling. Cheap construction (hollow core doors, thin drywall with no interior insulation) means that when someone slams a door on another floor, you can feel the vibrations everywhere. You can hear every sniffle through the walls. The cost-cutting construction methods lead to clear-cutting of trees (much easier than taking out a select few and working around those that remain), so the houses look plopped down, instead of fitting organically into their surroundings. The layouts and space allocations are often just plain weird. How big does an entryway need to be??

Is that "exact" enough? Want more? [/quote]

I don't understand what you are talking about. I don't see the difference, my rambler didn't have insulation between rooms, in fact there was no insulation between the interior and exterior except for newspapers stuffed better the windows. When we ran the dishwasher or talked in the kitchen you could hear it in all of the bedrooms. Or if we walked in the hallway you could feel it in the bedrooms. Where are these magical silent old construction ramblers? And doors? We had to replace all the original doors in our rambler because they were old and falling apart and chose to do hollow core because we didn't see a need to spend a lot of money when the value of the home didn't warrant the expense. Also new homes are planned and graded to fill in the lot with a central focal point. I am not sure what country you are talking about with these ramblers and new construction homes? Is this the simpsons?
