    - I love draft evaluations… CBS had a guy with this blurb about Kyle Hamilton - Will Hunting May 2, 11:03 4
      - YeH, I don’t like Hamilton much, but I absolutely agree it should be one of the most A+ picks ever if you say that. -- nm - The Allfather May 2, 11:12 3
        
        The best part is he graded the entire draft an A-….so they got his #1 player and somehow he brought their draft grade down? -- nm - Will Hunting May 2, 11:40
        
        So, what should I be concerned about with Hamilton. - the wrong element May 2, 11:28 1

  - (I know so much about fire code because my mom was a leasing agent.) here, one on an open plan first floor is correct. -- nm - amanda May 2, 10:27 1
    - I don't think I would find it so strange if it were closer to the kitchen. Instead it's closer to the front door. I feel like it should be - sycor May 2, 11:54
- four: basement, dining room, attic, bedrooms. you could argue that I should have a fifth, but due to layout, I don't have anywhere I could put it - amanda May 2, 10:19 1
