That will be hard, since he died 16 years ago. But looking at the house this is no surprise. My great grandfather bought it, and he cobbled things together, my grandfather did and my father still does. The washbasin in the laundry room next to my rooms is very low, I've never heard of any small people in my family so I suspect the person who installed it ran out of drainpipe. A couple of years ago I replaced the faucet, I had all the right parts, only to find out that the cold water was connected not with a water thingie but with a gas connector thingie.

I'll mention it to you're father.  |
LOL, my father never did anything about it because my parents had planned to replace to kitchen soon after moving in almost 37 years ago. They still do, so not much is done about the kitchen. I'm not cleaning those cupboards again, however.
Today I helped at my sister's apartment. We brushed the walls and ceiling of the two bedrooms, hallway and dining/living room with a cleaning solution, so she can get started with painting this weekend. So I think I've deserved my trip to the fair on Wednesday. I just opened the jar I put the money in for the last couple of months and I have saved €350, quite a lot more than I anticipated, so I can really go "wild".
