I wound up with cabinets that looked like the previous inhabitants were chewing on the edges of them, and a nice little scrag of a gap at the bottom of the wall behind my toilet. I also had that random light switch right next to my front door, and upon plugging a light into the socket on that same wall, I found that the two were connected.

My favorites (of the non-offensive variety) are:<BR/><BR/>1. Random lightswitches that don't *seem* to control anything (I recently discovered that the third switch next to my front door controls the hallway light, which until recently was burned out - ah-hah!)<BR/>2. Antiquated "features" that no longer serve any purpose, of which I've had at least two:<BR/>-milk drop boxes (where the milkman could stop by, slide open a door outside to drop off the milk and later you could flip open the inside door and retrieve it - that took quite a long time to puzzle out)<BR/>-a missing section of wall intended to hold a Pullman bed (when standing upright - ditto)<BR/><BR/>cheersAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
