Default Recommended furniture dimensions - Armoire

When I moved here I noticed 13 commodes on my tax bill. Hum I said -
Only 4 total - 3 house, 1 shop. What is the other 9. 30 years ago
there was a saw mill here and there was a wide building...

I thought they counted the mens room of a long defunk building.

They were counting faucets in the house. Missed two. Wow. One is
Never, Never used. They used it as water usage and richness.
Had been around since the turn of the 20th century. City 'folk' finally

Taxes...


What, you mean it has nothing to do with the fact that most of those

closets. Fewer closets, lower taxes. There were taxes 100 years ago
too. ;~)
