And a dusty attic with an old dollhouse and a birdhouse and trunks full of vintage clothes and linens.
I thought this went without saying.
A carriage house would be nice, too. With a second floor full of bedrooms for staff guests.
Buffy: So how'd she get away with the bad mojo stuff? Anya: Giles sold it to her. Giles: Well, I didn't know it was her. I mean, how could I? If it's any consolation, I may have overcharged her.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Pneumatic tubes are still normal for hospitals. RRUCLA is maybe five years old, and they had a system put in. No one wants to walk the small stuff to the labs if they don't have to, and crap like that.

I want a pneumatic vacuum cleaner pipe in each room, so you can just carry the hose around and plug it in when you clean. That way the compressor is loud down in the basement.
I want not only a screen porch, but also a catatorium where the cats can go out via a screen tunnel to their own little outdoor room.

Theo - my parents have that vacuum.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Yeah, the one of our schools that was a geodesic dome had that vacuum system, and I liked it a lot.
But apart from a few things, this house totally is my dream house, still.

My fancy New Orleans relatives had that vacuum system in the house they kept living in after they divorced. But that was one of the most fucking splendid houses I ever got to kip in--backed out with a gazebo on the bayou, swimming pool, interior courtyard with gas lamps (typed gay there...that's Freud all over), living room with ceilings two floors high and a balcony around it, killer kitchen...
Yeah, I'd have been gay and stayed living with my gay opposite gender ex to still have a bit of all that.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I'm pretty sure I was recently at a Costco around here with tubes.
ETA: google agrees with me.

What neighborhood were they in, ita? Sounds like maybe Bayou St. John? Or Park Island?

Having stayed in a youth hostel that was a converted carriage house, not so much.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
