| Whoever is in charge of keeping the house clean and that is usually the lady of the house, will appreciate a floor plan that has linoleum versus carpet in the heavy traffic areas from the exterior doors to the kitchen and bathrooms areas. Linoleum is easy to sweep and throw rugs are easy to vacuum or replace periodically. Keeping carpets fresh and clean in the bedrooms and living room is very important to the lady of the home. |

| Oak cabinets or other hardwoods do not warp or bend in time after installation. They hold more weight without warping The more closets in your home the easier it is to keep your home neat. Many manufacturers neglect to put adequate closets by the exterior doors and especially by the back door which is usually used more because it has the closest access to the garage and back yard. Walk-in closets off the bathroom and master bedroom are appreciated by the women who would rather go directly to a closet to put their cloths on without going back into the bedroom. Men like this style as they can access the closet while their wife is in the bathroom without disturbing her |
