:-) Thanks Alex. For us to adapt those physical features it would cost a lot of money. We're working with what we have. I just thought it was becoming less of a coincidence that I was noticing these features.
We did get one pleasant surprise though. I guess the first time when went to see our space it was raining. In fact, I remember it was because I was looking for leaks. Well, when we got the keys the other day we noticed that each of the side quads have huge skylights for plenty of natural light. Totally awesome! Oh, we also have 8 showers and 2 bathtubs.
