    When I bought my house it had been abandoned for years, so I had to remodel the whole thing. When I built the counters and cabinets I accidentally built everything based on my height, so everything in the house is a good 3-4 inches higher than most houses. Everything looks fine and works fine for me, but I have to get a lot of things down for the wife, and we have to have a couple different steps stools around.

      Very nice. I have relatives with a house like that and it makes everything easier. I visited a friend last year with vessel sinks: the counter top is standard height but the sinks sit on top: So nice. Meanwhile sometimes my back doesn’t like how much I have to bend to wash my hands in my own bathroom

      Well, I was lucky enough to make sure my partner is only about 10 cm shorter than me. But still when I renovated the house, it ended up the way that they cannot reach everything…
