Sears used to sell kit houses. They provided all of the materials, plans, and instructions and then you (or your carpenter) put it all together. Some of them were quite fancy. Others were not. Ours is one of the smallest, least-fancy ones they offered. As you can see, the original plans didn't even call include an indoor bathroom... nor did the house originally have one. A previous owner converted one upstairs bedroom into a bath, the unfortunate result being that space for the toilet stack was cut directly into the floor joist, leaving less than an inch of wood to hold up that section of floor. Later photos will show the plaster ceiling of the room below crumbling apart in that corner.
