Default OT? Amenities in homes

What area of the country would this be in? The price is a bit lower than
found here in NV, but not my much. We have actual new starter homes
advertised in the $80/sf range, but by the time you are ready to live in
them, completing what's left off, you're at $100. To get to where you're
talking, it'd be $150/sf or more.


Houston metro area.



FWIW, a pot shelf, as they're called here, is a decorative "step" about
30" or so from a dinette, dining room or living room wall, presumably to
set greenery, decorative plates or pots, or vases on. It's near the
ceiling and usually reached by a step ladder.


Ohh! yes those are pretty common place, not unusual to see several in a
home. My wife refers to them as dust collectors that will be hard to get to
to vacuum. From what I have seen in most homes that I have done some work
in, her observations are correct. In fact many I have seen require more
than a common 6' step ladder to reach. They are often 3-4' deep and at
least 10' from the floor in 2 story homes. The are best viewed from a stair
way or cat walk.
