One thing each of them has had (or neglected, really) is a phony vent for the stove. There is a hood fan, and what appears to be conduit leading to a vent, but there isn't actually any vent. It's an empty casing made of chipboard. The hood fan just blows upward onto the front of the cabinets above the stove and leaves a delightfully greasy trail.

At best, it does some minor filtering. But based on the grease deposits on the aforementioned cabinets, it doesn't do much.

We're moving to townhouse about an hour outside of town [in a beautiful town on the escarpment to boot]. The house was built in 1896 and has better venting than our current modern, downtown "luxury" condo.

And the dust. Let me tell you about the dust. It's unceasing here. We can dust one day and inside of a week it will be as dusty as if nobody has lived here in months. We're looking forward to being in a space that has been built and tended to be lived in rather than an image of a dwelling that is really only a vehicle for investment.
