#1 It would appear home builders and buyers in Cherokee County, GA. still haven't received the word. Thank you Messrs. Zoppi and Rossi.

#2 I never understood the "open concept". It's a lot easier to heat or cool a house if you can isolate rooms that don't need to be heated or cooled. And, if the rest of the family is watching something on TV that you don't like, you can go to another room and watch something else. And, if there are dirty dishes in the kitchen, you don't want that to be the first thing people see when they walk through your front door.

#3 In hot climates a high ceiling and an open floor plan have advantages as far as "natural cooling".

#5 So when I'm in the kitchen and the kids are playing Monopoly, I know when to start hiding the sharp objects and bludgeons.

#6 I prefer a separate kitchen. I've grown quite tired of hearing the fridge--let alone the dishwasher--run while I'm in the front/living room.
