quadrant living - Garden square living Explanation: Clever Dutch term! I offer those terms in good faith. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 day1 hr (2008-05-14 15:17:20 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- No, not a quadruple house. it does not fit in at all.
