well, dorsey, i have a spare room and it is top clearance safe. i cook, i do not tolerate being bossed around, and my dishwasher is broken, so you can wash dishes. but it's quiet except for the turkeys that live in the forrest behind the house. if you show up unannounced, close the gate behind you when you walk up the driveway so the dogs do not run onto the highway. 🎈
