The guy who built our house lived in it as well.
But there are an excessive amount of phone jacks in the house.
Our house was built in the mid-90s.

I don’t understand why so many phone jacks were necessary, yet we have no coat closet."
My father designed and built the house (out of brick; he was a bricklayer).
Dad, wherever you are up there, WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?!!"

We use it for storage since there are very few closets in this house.
We have to keep it closed so the cats don’t mess with everything.

“Having a backyard with a ton of trees.
We wound up hiring someone this year, and it cost us an arm and a leg.

It was either that or lose our weekends come October.”

“Our house was built in 1927.

Apparently, having only one outlet per room was appropriate back then?!”
“My townhouse doesn’t have a linen closet or a coat closet.
Have you ever thought about how many coats and jackets you own?

I’ve lived there for three years and have tried SO many different solutions for storing coats and linens.
God help me if anyone needs to get to the water heater.”

“Our kitchen doesnt have a hood above the stovetop.
The previous owners remodeled the layout and put the oven in an island.
“We have multiple skylights in our house, and I HATE them.
We have them in two of our three bedrooms.
We need a fan to sleep at night and can’t have a ceiling fan because of it.
The shade is always closed, so what’s the point?
And we have two of them in our living room.
The light is nice, but it gets incredibly hot in that room in the summer.
When we are at the point of replacing our roof, those things are getting removed.”

“My kitchen sink!
Its a double sink, but the partition in the middle only comes up halfway.
So when Im doing dishes, I cant fill one side with water.
I can only fill it halfway.
Id rather have a full partition or just one huge sink.
I swear to god, this was invented by the same guy who invented the fuzzy toilet seat!”
