My old house was built around the turn of the 19th centery.
Nothing in it is standared ,not the doors,windows ,studs ,furnace ,nothing.
Can't even buy parts for the toilet.

If ya took a about 8 modern day furnces and set them 2 wide 4 long thats about the size of my furnace.They had to of brought the parts in & assemble the furnace in the basement.

So I can't go to no store and just buy anything for it.

Have no idea why but we have the electric power come in the back of the house with big fuses then it runs to the side wall & up towards the front of the side wall we have another fuse box with little fuses that all the wires run threw the house from there.

My water meter is in the back yard ,3 houses down LOL.

Anyways if ya ever model any 1890,s houses I wouldn't bother with standards or logic.
Just think what a house built why ya dringing lighting would look like.

My Grandma's garage doors open like barn doors.ah the left ones was about 8 feet 6 inches.
The right one was about 8 feet 9 inches,it set on a hill.
