You can get icemakers in the fridge in Denmark, we call them American fridges. I´m not sure why he would complain about it, he is the one buying his fridge.

It’s not that he’s complaining it’s just most houses in Denmark do not have room for an American fridge/freezer and because the kitchen they have is a build in fridge it’s not easy to fit a larger fridge.

Most Danish houses have Fjernvarme/Remote heating, hot water pipes all over the country. Looked it up 66% of houses.

Is that what we maybe call city heating in the Netherlands? My town gets hot water and heater from a waste burner, that is a huge factory burning waste.

In English, it's called central heating, I think. Old houses and apartments have radiators, and new houses and apartments usually have floor heating.

Europeans tend to build to last. There is a nasic impermence in US building. As a European I'd never seen a "dry wall2 beffere going to the states,.

There is a lot of drywall in Denmark, typical in big cities, where they turned old buildings in to apartments. Studio apartments. Old buildings/historical (most are) are often illegal to take down, or chance to much. So you just restore them and build cheap drywall, easy to remove again. But yes in what you would call a real house, it`s all stone/brick.

@@Tommysimonsen The drywall is used in existing buildings because the building is not made to have heavy stone walls added. So it is more a matter weight than cost.

@@HenrikJansson78, I don't get their need for ice either. If you keep your drinks in the fridge it's more than cold enough, you don't need extra ice.

This ice machine is quite normal in all of Scandinavia. I bought mine 20 years ago

I don't really get how a glass window is protection for your front door during a storm? If something blows against a wooden door during a storm, surely that is sturdier than a glass door? I'm from Belgium and never seen a house that was heated with a vent system and warm air like I see on the movies and tv series in America. Never seen it in any other european country I've been in either. Our central heating systems is warm water that goes from our central heating boiler to the radiator units in the rooms, or if you have underfloor heating the warm water goes to the pipes in your floor. In Belgium real wood floor are not really used much, most people go for laminate flooring or ceramic tiles. When it comes to hardwood floor you can choose to go for finished or unfinished.

Not sure how it is in Denmark, but in Sweden the regulations about electrical outlets in bathrooms changed quite a long time ago, so only the old houses have the light switch outside. I would expect it to be similar in Denmark, but maybe they were a bit slower with the change..

Re: the window screens. It's more common now to have a window screen in Poland at least. Reasonable thing to have)

Residential buildings don't have inward opening doors here, so the screens wouldn't work.

It still weird when you don't have a hallway to enter a house.

23:08 Smørrebrød/Bread with a spread/Spreadbred. Bread butter and toppings. I think it`s one of the most eaten things in Denmark, the low end for the lunchboxes for school or work. And the high end you go get at the butcher or a supermarket. There use to be a lot of Smørrebrødsjomfruer, Bread spread virgins. The job title for the people making the high end stuff. Today it`s just the butcher making it, inhouse butchers at supermarkets. kzread.info/dash/bejne/aIZ416-mhpCnoKg.html

They did change the intro, I think it was a couple of years ago by now. And as Tommy mentioned district heating is very common in Denmark, for those that don't have it, it's a mix of various sources, amongst them a system like the US have with an electrical unit and ducts to the entire home, but it's only a tiny share that has that. Most commonly it will be radiators either electrical or dispersing heating from a furnace burning something. Carpeting is still way more popular in the US than in Denmark these days, back in the booming years of the 50's and 60's and well into the 90's carpeting were also quite popular in danish homes, in the late 90's there was a shift more towards hardwood floors, and a preference for either raw or very simply treated, like soaped, and not so much lacquered floors. Outlets are all centrally protected in Denmark with HPFI relay, cutting the power if there is an issue.

Thermostats (and many other things) should work without da internets. Freezing your *ss of because the internet is down is a very bad thing™

You just need to have at least some unswitched power outlets. Taping switches is an ugly workaround.
