Our house was owned previously by the engineer for the city of Safety Harbor. Because of that, nothing in our house is standard... everything is the result of leftovers from a job site. Whenever my wife and I do work in the house we find our house to be more and more "unique."
Doors aren't standard size.
The air conditioning thermostat was non-standard.
The windows were non-standard.
The lighting fixtures were non-standard.
And so on...
One of the on-going struggles in our house has been the inconsistency of temperature from our air conditioning system. The front of the house would be hot, the back of the house would be cold, etc. We finally decided to get the system looked at and found that the air handler was... that's right... non-standard. The return air system was completely screwed up. So, we've hired a company to fix it all up and, as they were moving the air handler out to the garage so they could set it up correctly, they said that the way it was originally put in was not even up to code.
No surprise here.
The upside is that we should have a level temperature household. The downside is that they didn't finish their work in one day so we had to sleep in a 90+ degree house last night. Well, we tried to sleep. No one really slept well.
Ahh, the joys of home ownership.

Sounds like an engineer of disaster. I hope everyone's health is holding up; you are all in my prayers.
