Ever since we bought this house, it’s been fighting us when we try and improve it. Wiring in a breaker board was fun. Upgrading the boiler was more fun. Each time, we realize that at some point in its past, a real cowboy DIY “enthusiast” left his mark on this house and we’re still discovering just how loony he was.
We had a periodic electrical inspection done to certify the breaker installation and it turned up some gremlins in the wiring.The bad news is that it took a full day to work through them. The good news is that I thought it would take significantly longer! And to top it off, we only had to rip up a small portion of the floor. I had visions of the whole upstairs being torn up and trunking running down all the walls. All in all, it would seem that we’re going to get away with only 10 hours of electrical work. I can live with that.
