Well everyone has something just a little odd about the place that they live, and you look at it and think, WHAT were they thinking?

For example in my bathroom there is a seperate switch for the Fan, the thermostat, the plug in, and the lightswitch, Now a normal builder would have likely put them all together as best as they could,Maybe the Plug in and the Fan and Light in one panel?) But whomever did this bathroom no way, they're all kinda staggered on the wall in a bizzare manner. I'll have to take a picture. What were they thinking?


Tell me about the weird things in your house.

Maybe they were added in later?

They were added in later, but the people that added them in, just didn't do a good or sensible job. I've acually been shocked by the lightswitch before we replaced it.

There is only one in my dininroom, and its connected to the lighswitch that runs the ceiling lights, So I can't use the outlet unless i turn the light on!

They put on an addition in our house and when I went upstairs in the attic I walked through some wooden openings and turned and used my flashlight to see what I had just passed through. There were the roof shingles on the roof from the original house. AND there were still leaves on the roof. I didn't venture any further. LOL
