So part of building a NEW house is the process of dealing with the OLD one: cleaning, updating, marketing and selling. Fortunately for us, we have the good fortune to be able to begin working on the new one before we have to sell the old one. And by "old," I mean the 6000 square foot, constructed in 1930 brick Tudor we currently live in. The same lovely old home that lost half its power yesterday. Brown-out conditions, fading to black, in half our home. Apparently, the underground wires, buried without conduit probably in the 1970's, gave up the ghost around 8:00 a.m. yesterday. Consultations with the power company, life-saving resuscitation by the electrician, and various pow-wows are leading to an expensive conclusion.
I am an optimist. That's a good thing, I think. So wouldn't you rather buy an old house with recently-updated wiring and a new breaker panel? You would, wouldn't you? We'll get our money out of this, right?
We do enjoy the mac and cheese....and ramen....
