What Type Of Home Do You Live In?

[peat moss]

I'm thinking a bachelor suite , you know where the bed folds down from the wall . Hey what a great idea tho , company coming over ? Throw those dirty dishes and clothes on the bed hit a switch and Bobs your uncle .

Oh its easy its what the ex wife leaves you with after a nasty divorce , no money to get a better place so you rent a bachelor suite .


Then she complains that you live in a shit hole ,that's not good enought for the little ones . Right beside a nice park tho and quite liked myself .

I live in a home that is unattached from other homes, but attached to a foundation. I think. I have never actually checked on this.
It is only an assumption on my part.

What it your humble abode and please state your city and country.

edit: Efficiency apartment are also called studio apartments. It is basically one room that basically has everything (kitchen, bedroom, livingroom, etc.)...very ubiquitous in New York City and some can be quite big.

In the UK, apartments are known as 'flats'. I live in a one-bedroomed purpose built flat (as opposed to flat in a converted house) in South London, UK.

From what I gathered during my abode-hunting...
A bedsit is a bedroom/living room with an integral kitchen area but the bathroom is in an area shared with other tenants of the building. Normally this is in a converted house.
A studio flat is similar but has its own bathroom and may have a separate kitchen.

Oh ok.

Yeah I live in a regular two bedroom two bathroom apartment. I think it's pretty nice, but can be shit compared to other fancy homes.

Having a bathroom for each bedroom in a flat would not be considered 'regular' in the UK.

Kind of a cross between an apartment and a townhouse. Smaller than a townhouse and with private entraces for all, but there are four to a building.

I'm in British Columbia.

That's what we'd call a maisonette.

Yes.

Fixed.

Would very ubiquitous be a tautology.

In Busy's defense, he usually always copies other people's words without properly understanding the meaning behind them. He's trying to fit in.

With that in mind, I think you should have let him off.

Don't use the spelling "defense" evar again.

Check, please.

Yonder comes a twister, lass.

Oh, and BTW, detached.

'Twas a bit of an inside/outside joke, actually.

She lives in Tornado Alley, truth.

But, but, but...a bedsit is not an efficiency apartment.

Yeah I've heard of an apartment called a flat many times before.

Bedsits are not efficiency apartments in the least. Efficiency apartements are more like hotel rooms with a kitchen and stove. Nothing is shared with other tenants.
