I would invite my family or friends and play the figurines ourselves. Maybe with props or onesies! Use those big fluffy dices. Houses / buildings some bigger children's toys, though that might be hard since for bigger ones you would probably find princess castles or something like that :-\ which might be too big. Building them with LEGO maybe? The bills, I don't know. If they don't exist, make them my/ourselves. Even the preparation would be fun!

Saved the layers and then they got lost, another story there for that! We did get to the original wall and it was so smooth and cool. It took paint and made it disappear.

That's smart. I bet they are still better (better quality, made of better materials, more durable) then new ones.

Chiming in with my 2 cents worth. They are called knife switches that made a simple connection between one leg of a circuit. Handles were insulated and the blade and contacts were either copper or brass. Simple hinge of a brass pin or screw allowed its swinging capability. Definitely not not something acceptable in today’s safety conscience society, but a lawyer’s dream.

Is a basement a different thing in America? In Britain it is the base of a building used for storage also called cellar , not a room sprouting off at ground level.

It looks like there have been multiple additions to the house. We have found some, but mostly in the downstairs rooms. This leads me to believe that, in addition to being multiple smaller homes that were joined together, the majority of the upstairs was added as an afterthought. There are also two rooms at different floor levels than the rest of the house- the floor in the proper front room, where the actual front door is (we use the side as our entryway), is about three inches lower than the rest of the house, including the living room it borders. The bedroom floor across the hall from chain-room is three inches higher than the rest of the upstairs. Incidentally, the two rooms with weird heights, are above/below one another. So, old house, weird building materials (pretty much whatever they could find), and some interesting wall finds.

At some point in history this might have been designed in as support for something on the lower level. A cantilevered staircase, etc. Today it would be done with a solid rod with tensioning apparatus at the upper end

Right after college, I moved to a big city, and into a flat with some other young people in a building that had been very posh in the 1910s. It had multiple bedrooms with one bathroom to share between them, and a maid's room, and I took the maid's room. It was awesome having a shower, sink and toilet to myself, completely worth the extra $50 a month. I didn't miss having a tub at all. I don't live there any more, and the building still exists, but it was converted to condos not too long ago.

When I was doing work experience at horse yard, I was staying in one of the owners B&B room. The toilet was shared down the hall, but i had shower in my room. I started on yard at 6am, but often woke up at 5 and have quick shower to help wake me up and get muscles warm ready to muck out a lot of stables! Didn’t really think about it at the time, but meant I didn’t have to wake up paying guests with my early showers and didn’t have to wait for shared bathroom to be free when I finished work and needed to wash off before collapsing in bed after long day working!
