8*. Listening
There’s a very interesting idiom in connection with Elizabethan style in architecture. It’s about cats and dogs. Can you guess which one?

Mary Evans Picture Library

«It’s raining cat’s and dogs» An interesting phrase, isn’t it?

The phrase isn’t related to the well-known antipathy between dogs and cats, which is exemplified in the phrase ‘fight like cat and dog’. Nor is the phrase in any sense literal, i.e. it doesn’t record an incident where cats and dogs fell from the sky. Small creatures, of the size of frogs or fish, do occasionally get carried skywards in freak weather. Such involuntary flight must also happen to dogs or cats from time to time, but there’s no record of the events causing this phrase to be coined. No English meteorological records inform about this.

It has been suggested that cats and dogs were washed from roofs during heavy weather. This is a widely repeated tale which became very popular with the e-mail message «Life in the 1500s», which began circulating on the Internet in 1999. Here’s the relevant part of that:

I’ll describe their houses a little. You’ve heard of thatch roofs (соломенная крыша), well that’s all they were. Thick straw, piled high, with no wood underneath. They were the only place for the little animals to get warm. So all the pets; dogs, cats and other small animals, mice, rats, bugs, all lived in the roof. When it rained it became slippery so sometimes the animals would slip and fall off the roof. Thus the saying, «it’s raining cats and dogs.»

Do you believe it?

This is nonsense of course. In order to believe this tale we would have to accept that dogs lived in thatched roofs, which, of course, they didn’t. Even accepting that bizarre idea, for dogs to have slipped off when it rained they would have needed to be sitting on the outside of the thatch — hardly the place an animal would head for as shelter in bad weather.

(Adapted from: http://www.phrases.org.uk/meanings/raining%20cats%20and%20dogs.html)

PS: One supposed origin is that the phrase derives from mythology. Dogs and wolves were attendants to Odin, the god of storms, and sailors associated them with rain. Witches, who often took the form of their familiars — cats, are supposed to have ridden the wind. Well, some evidence would be nice. There doesn’t appear to be any to support this notion.

8. Test (reflection). Which houses represent Victorian and which Elizabethan architectural styles?

Homeowners typically want to make the most of a breathtaking natural view, and view lot house plans are designed specifically for this due to their versatility and special consideration of the terrain.

Unlike conventional plans, which are made to fit within standard residential lots that may include other homes in close proximity, these plans are expansive and open in order to provide owners with uninterrupted views of their surroundings.

Features of House Plans for a View

One of the most prominent features tends to be the use of windows, with most homes including numerous windows strategically positioned along the rear of the home. Houses are typically positioned so the back faces the natural setting, meaning that the backside of the home design usually receives the most special attention. The large amount of windows will provide a panoramic view of the lake, beach, pool, forest, mountain, or river the house is near.

It’s also common to find expansive patios, decks, or walkout basements in view house plans. These are seamlessly connected to the windows and openings at the rear of the home to encourage frequent enjoyment of the natural settings.

Some of these houses are located in untraditional lots that feature many different, and often unstable, types of terrain. Many of these house designs are created to accommodate these special needs. Owners can find floor plans that include the necessary considerations for building on shifting sands, on steep inclines, or in close proximity to rising water.

These plans are typically larger and offer three or more bedrooms on average. There’s ample space for entertaining, relaxing, and enjoying the beautiful backyard space.
