    I think I shall register a complaint to whomever it may concern. A house is not a home. It’s a structure. A home is usually made by a living family related group. Over forty years a movie had the same phrase ” A house is not a home”. It starred Robert Taylor and Shelley Williams. For those of you that are old enough the “house” in this film was not well thought of. Nuff said!!
