Get a hold of me if things get really bad . Don ' t do anything stupid . <| sep |> socialismBecause the economy grew under socialism in the 50 ' s and 60 ' s . It ' s easy when you start from rubble and you know how to build things , it ' s even easier when the American taxpayer is subsidising this . When the money stops and everything is shoddily rebuilt in the 1970 s everything collapses despite the US continuing to subsidise our security , but as socialists always do , they look back to a time when the bill was paid by someone else . Socialism is a disease . <| sep |> The design of the open type kitchen in the house is very ill conceived . If you are going to do open kitchen , you really need some kind of a soffit along the perimeter and should have exhaust on the ceiling no matter what . As is even the slightest amount of cooking will spread all over the house , an eventually you will find everything you own smell like kitchen and coated with oil . One may think a conventional woodmetal stud framed soffit , depends on how low it will drop , will break the visual of the openness of the space , but it is all a matter of form follows function a glass soffit could be a design option to maintain the visual openness of the space if budget allows . In addition the soffit will be able to provide lighting options spot or pendant hung for the high top area where the stools are located as is there are literally zero lighting provide for that area that requires to have task lighting for eating . What is even worst is how the natural light coming from the back of the people that will be using that area creating an even more harsh visual environment due to the shadows cast by the people on the stools .
