Re: Funny pics
Having had this conversation with American friends, we don't really use the same language you guys do when it comes to houses.
That is what we call a "semi detached" house - it's joined to a house on one side, but not on the other. If it stood on its own with no join on either side, it would be a "detached house". If it joined another house on both sides, it would be a "terraced house".
You would think that the house on the end of a row of terraced houses would be a semi-detached, but nope. If your house joins to another, but only on one side, and then that joins to another, and another, and so on... then they are terraced and your house is an "end-terrace house".
Terraced houses are the cheapest (I live in one), then end terraced, then semi detached, then detached.
Oh, and we don't typically value houses based on their square footage. Rather, apart from what type of house they are, they're typically classified based on the number of bedrooms.

Re: Funny pics
to build on that I seem to think we have a lot more multi-storey houses than you guys do over there. The vast majority of our houses are two story properties with a kitchen, dining room and living room on the bottom floor (often with a small bathroom with a toilet and sink only); upstairs the bedrooms and primary bathroom. I seem to remember a lot of you guys having single story properties; we call them bungalows. They tend to be something bought by elder generations (though not exclusively of couse).
Re: Funny pics
There are houses of all shapes and sizes in the US. I know a guy who lives in a 'house' that isn't much bigger than a shed. But it has everything a house has except size.

Re: Funny pics
Bungalows aren't all that common here - since they require twice as much land for the same area of house they tend to be more expensive for a given size. They're not any great rarity - my parents live in one - but maybe one house in twenty or thirty, at the very most. I've no idea how that compares to the US building mix.Reliant121 wrote:to build on that I seem to think we have a lot more multi-storey houses than you guys do over there.
