Browse Forums Building A New House Re: New Home Questions 88Aug 22, 2018 10:53 am I’ll have to check my plans but I think the measurements are internal sizes as we went off those measurements to buy our fridge Also once you have the power box on the side of the house and once the meter is connected the power to the house is active.
