- Мне никак не удается убедить Джима в преимуществах подземного водного резервуара, переделанного в практичный домик без сквозняков. Подобный дом будет из ряда вон выходящим, он может стать настоящей достопримечательностью нашего квартала. Он не верит в практичность этого дома, а ведь счета за отопление будут очень низкими. В такой домик никто из грабителей не ворвется, не будет никакой необходимости устанавливать систему безопасности.
- Не знаю, Джейн. Я боюсь подобных неординарных идей и не одобряю их. Кому-то подобное жилье и будет по душе (понравится), а кто-то ведь страдает от клаустрофобии и чувствует себя отрезанным от окружающего мира. Построить дом с нуля намного проще, ведь у вас есть средства.
- Я согласна с тобой, но нам в последнее время не хватает жилплощади, и я хотела придумать подобную практичную пристройку к нашему особняку.
