Excellent story Rick. We think in very similar ways, I think. At least when it comes to sarcastic solutions to everyday issues.

Semi-detached is correct, or "semi". Some people call them "side-split".

I mean i am not bilingual so i tough that was the word At least i hope we understand each other I suspect that semi-detached is correct, and that my understanding of the term was wrong. Until we get more confident on the definitions, however, I was thinking that it would be good to ask more specific questions such as "is there an air gap between your house and the neighbors house ?". "An air gap which could be packed with absorbent material ?"

Hi bridgman,
Odd, I'd never really thought about the term "semi-detached" although I've been using it for years. Yes, in my experience there is a common wall between the units, and there was between mine and the neighbor's place. I guess "row house" better defines that. "Duplex" in Canada can certainly mean adjoining places but in my mind, I usually think it's one atop the other.
Cheers,
Alan

I think I'm wrong on the "side-split", that's just a house with different opposing levels...carry on.
