I want to put two hyphens between the words "fish" and "and," and "and" and "chips," in my "fish-and-chips" sign.
Did I mention I actually bought a personal copy of The Chicago Manual of Style, Fifteenth Edition? Oh yeah, the huge orange book is within arm's reach at work...

House 1:
The four-bedroom home was planned so that "every room has a relationship
with something in the landscape that's different from the room next door. Each of
the rooms feels like a slightly different place." The resulting single-story house is a paragon of environmental planning.
The passive-solar house is built of honey-colored native limestone and
positioned to absorb winter sunlight, warming the interior walkways and
walls of the 4,000-square-foot residence. Geothermal heat pumps circulate water through pipes buried 300 feet deep in the ground. These waters pass through a heat
exchange system that keeps the home warm in winter and cool in summer. A
25,000-gallon underground cistern collects rainwater gathered from roof
urns; wastewater from sinks, toilets, and showers cascades into underground
purifying tanks and is also funneled into the cistern. The water from the cistern is then used to irrigate the landscaping around the four-bedroom home, (which) uses
indigenous grasses, shrubs, and flowers to complete the exterior treatment
of the home. In addition to its minimal environmental impact, the look and layout
of the house reflect one of the paramount priorities: relaxation. A spacious
10-foot porch wraps completely around the residence and beckons the family
outdoors. With few hallways to speak of, family and guests make their way
from room to room either directly or by way of the porch. "The house doesn't hold you in. Where the porch ends there is grass. There is no step-up at all." This
house consumes 25% of the energy of an average American home. (Source:
Cowboys and Indians Magazine, Oct. 2002 and Chicago Tribune April 2001.)
House 2:
This 20-room, 8-bathroom house consumes more electricity every month than
the average American household uses in an entire year. The average household in
America consumes 10,656 kilowatt-hours (kWh) per year, according to the
Department of Energy. In 2006, this house devoured nearly 221,000 kWh, more
than 20 times the national average. Last August alone, the house burned through
22,619 kWh, guzzling more than twice the electricity in one month than an average
American family uses in an entire year. As a result of this energy
consumption, the average monthly electric bill topped $1,359. Also, natural gas bills for this house and guest house averaged $1,080 per month last year. In total,
this house had nearly $30,000 in combined electricity and natural gas bills for
2006. (Source: just about anywhere in the news last month online and on
talk radio, but barely on TV.)

Understanding first that my dream house is one that uses no grid electricity and that I am not an Gore fan.
Gore buys his electricity for that house from green power (ie solar, wind, hydro...) and I wonder if the house in Crowford is the only one Bush owns?
