When he talked about walk in closets, they don’t come standard in the average house. Good size closers do, but a true walk-in is large enough to go in and comfortably dig through clothes and change, and what ever else tickles your fancy. A true walk-in does, in someways show a kind of stature or income level, but not always. The size of home and amount of land can usually be determined by how rural or urban you residence is. If you live out of town a little ways land is generally cheaper so one can afford a sizable piece without growing broke. Where we live we’re just in a neighborhood where everyone has 1-1/2 acres, but not all the houses are 4,000 sq.ft. There again, it’s up to the individuals whether a large home on their land is necessary, or even something they want. I have a friend that owns 250’acres but loves his 1,100 sq.ft. home because he waits it doesn’t take much to keep it clean. He and his Wife raised 4 kids in it, so it’s up to each family. I personally love our larger home. (the first one I mentioned) If you want alone time you have plenty of home to go to.

Row house is used in the Northeast states in cities like New York, Boston, Washington D.C. etc. Most of the rest of the country says townhouse or townhome, but all three terms can be used interchangeably. Condo is a weird one though that has multiple uses and meanings. For example, my mother owns and lives in a condo that is also a townhouse (not an apartment). Some of her neighbors are owners and some are renters... but they are all still called condos. You can rent a condo to live in or rent a vacation condo, and in big cities you can buy and own individual apartments in huge buildings that are still called apartments. Condo seems to be used more to imply that the residence is larger than a standard small apartment but still has some sort of attached neighbor or shared walls, as well as sometimes being used to imply ownership. Condo is kind of a throw away term that doesn't really mean anything specific.

@@themourningstar338 Condo actually does mean something specific - it means that it's part of a condominium trust. It also means that there is an individual owner of the living unit and a collective owner of the land or overall structure. Even when there is a renter in a condo, they are renting from an individual owner, not the condominium trust. It's a description of the property's ownership and management structure, not a description of the type of housing. Condos can be apartment-style (also known as garden style), townhouses, duplexes or single family houses. Sometimes you get all of them in a single condo development. However, in all cases, the owner of the living space does not own the land the housing is on. The condominium trust does.

Speaking of moving house. I have seen an old house being moved. It was quite a production. The overhead wires on the street had to be moved to let the house pass under them. It was a two story house. They had to close the road the day they moved it. It was several months of preparation for the move. Building the new foundation and getting the house off the old foundation. I have also seen several lots where prebuilt houses were for sale. These are also called prefabricated of modular homes. You can tour the houses and buy one to be put on your land. I have seen these houses being driven down the highways. They are easier to move because they are built to be moved. They can be shipped in large sections, usually two halves then put back together at the location. Building a house from scratch is called "stick built".

In America when we say we are "going to move" or "moving" without any additional info it means moving to a new living space. We don't often say we are "moving to the kitchen". We say we are "going to the kitchen". Also when we say tea kettle or tea pot we normally mean the stovetop variety. If it is an electric appliance, we usually say something like "hot pot" or "electric hot pot". That is probably because we don't have near the level of hit tea drinkers as the UK. A lot of college student may use them if they don't have a stove because you can heat a lot of different things in them. Also I feel like in the US only really new houses have enough outlets to include that appliance. An electric coffee maker would be given a much higher priority.

Air conditioning is more common in the US because some of the weather can be pretty intense. In the Southwest, you have states like Arizona, Nevada, and New Mexico, where the temperature easily gets up to 120 degrees Fahrenheit, which is close to 50 degrees Celsius. In Florida and other Southeastern states, the humidity is very high, so it's best to keep the windows closed so that you don't get a humidity problem inside your house. Air conditioners tend to pull air in from the outside, but it's usually less air than you'd get if you just kept the windows open for an extended period of time. So the inside of these houses usually end up not being quite as humid as the outside.

We have bungalows as well, they are older and, like your English version, are one story, the older ones are commonly known as "Arts & Crafts" or "Craftsman" style. The originals from before WW2, features 4 to 6 rooms with doors, etc between rooms. After the war, the typical new homes were either "Cape Cod', 1 story with finished attic (loft to you) or "ranch-style" homes which are single-story with open planned living areas (no doors between every room) which followed the design philosophy of Frank Lloyd Wright's "Usoian" or "prairie-style" homes. As most North American homes have central heating rather than individual room heating (rads or fires), most homes constructed after WW2 have open floorplans as the need to shut off unheated rooms no longer existed. He missed a few things in his video though, codes require a mixed faucets rather than individual taps for safety, (anti-scolding) and taps in America ( typicall cold water) refer to those which are located outside in front and rear "gardens" to water the plants and wash cars. Other things you do differently are interior doors open towards the nearest wall rather than out into the room and kitchen sinks are in front of windows, but bath sinks are not to allow for mirrors. As an architect to be, you should look up NorthAmerican building codes, I am sure they would be enlightening, as would study the design principles of FLW.

When it comes to housing styles, the styles he covered are more common along the east coast and Midwest, but as you go further west, the city houses are more likely to have brick and limestone exteriors. The reason for this is because the further west you go, the newer the architecture. Before the houses were wood because it was the most abundant resource. As time went on, more building material became easier to transport across the country, and bricks and stone were more sturdy. Also, in places like the southwest are more desert and there ain’t many trees there, so you would also get more concrete and limestone houses. Along the gulf coast the houses are often made of concrete to withstand things like hurricanes.

In Chicago, there is the Bungalow Belt, a ring of mostly bungalows built in the first quarter of the last century that wrap around the outer edge of the city from north to south. These houses are usually brick, 1 1/2 or 2 stories with a full basement, with a narrow width on the street edge, but go back quite far on the lot to a detached garage on the back alley. They usually have a front porch and the original design commonly included a stained glass window in the front and some decorative brickwork also in the front. Speaking of the bricks, fancier bricks tended to be used on the front facade, with plainer brown bricks on the rest of the building. These went into decline after WWII, but Boomers started snagging the more decrepit ones for cheap in the 1960s and ‘70s and they started gentrifying the Belt in the ‘80s. Now, they are quite pricey!

I'm an older guy... so here is my observation on kettles. When I was growing up - in the western US, where most houses had Gas (natural) in the house... stove top kettles, or, often times - stove top coffee percolators were most commonly seen in houses. In small apartments, or places without gas was were you would be more likely to find either an electric kettle or percolator. In the last 40 years, coffee percolators have become an oddity, I suspect that many younger people have never seen one. We use new technology to make coffee in the US. At the same time, electric kettles have become much more common than I remember them being - but ours typically are built with an internal switch - because the outlet has no switch. I think a couple of other folks have weighed in already - but if I were to say "I'm going to move house." to anyone that I know, I would need to do some explaining - because that would potentially imply that I was going to physically lift my house off of its foundations, and relocate it. Not a particularly common thing... but not unthinkable either. Alternately, announcing that I was departing one location in my home and relocating to another location in my home... would be considered... "eccentric".

Actually we don't have a tea kettle. We have a glass coffee pot that we boil water in.. we make coffee by pouring the boiled water over the grounds into another pot. We also have a coffee pot that pours into a carafe. Ee make tea by pouring water into a cup and using a tea bag. My grandmother had a whistleing tea pot.

No we don't have plug in kettles. We use the stove top kettle. Or just use a coffee maker for coffee or tea. Also yes we just move.

No, we don’t typically have electric kettles in every home. They do exist here and some people have them, but most people who use a kettle use a stovetop style, usually one that whistles when the water starts to boil. They’re very quaint, actually. Some are quite pretty and decorative.

I disagree with "yall" lol . I live in Michigan and granted it gets hot here in the summer. But not everyone here has AC. Lots do but when the nights dip into the 50s and 60s at night, I just open a window (with screens of course!!).

Just one more example of how diverse our climates are too. I live in Southern California on the coast and it rarely gets below 50F or above 90F. I've never lived in a home with AC and haven't turned on a heater in over 10 yrs.

Another word that's different is we say "yard" for the patch of green on our property, while you say "garden". To us, a garden is the plot where your flowers & veggies grow (in your yard). I've never heard of an electric tea kettle until Lost in the Pond. (I use the microwave to heat up my water for tea) Also, very few houses have food disposals in their sinks. I hear they get jammed up often & who wants to stick their hand down in one of them to fix it!?

We can get washer/dryer combos but the separate ones generally hold a lot more. Love the garbage disposal! It prevents stinky, wet garbage, also. Moving house in America is a mobile home or RV. On rare occasion, people will actually move a stick-built house and it's a huge project! A house is detached.

I have an electric kettle. It's just not as common as appliances, opposed to things like coffee pots. And yes, we say we're "moving." It's not hard to tell in context. Essentially if you say, "I'm moving soon" or "Can you help me move next week?" we just kind of get that the person is moving from one place of residence to the next.

Yes! Goonies are still huge in America! And I studied Architectural Technology in college.. way back when in 2003. And what you refer to more as bungalow.. though it is.. is much more common called Ranch Style across the US. And there's SOOOOOOOOOOO many throughout the US that I can't imagine a single town anywhere not having them. They were built for decades & have stood the test of time because they really are still a very functional floor plan.

1. Goonies is a cult classic in the U.S. I may possibly be the only American who has not seen it. 2. Walk-in closets are great. Mine is so big, you could make it into a bedroom. 3. I am married to a Brit and lived there in England many years. The rowhouses made me claustrophobic, but I miss going to McColl's and buying chocolates and gossip newspapers like The Sun.

I'm from very rural Kentucky in the US. Yes, I have a glass stovetop kettle with a little plastic lid that whistles. I use it daily. I mostly use it to steep sweet/fruit teas, French press coffee, and pour over pastas. However, most kettles used in my region are stainless steel but still stovetop. I've never seen an electric kettle in real life, and there are none available in stores close to me (40miles/65km).
