But at least you found it before (not after) disaster struck.<BR/><BR/>Our house is new and the 'clever' electrician put the single electricity socket in the utility/laundry room just about washing machine height on the back wall. This means it is right next to the water inlet (perfect to get sprayed when the tap leaks) and behind the dryer so it gets nice and hot and is impossibleEstherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11276711065670111187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1200562201300099140.post-41583122766723247102009-01-26T20:24:00.000-05:002009-01-26T20:24:00.000-05:00Good Lord that reminds me of the house I had in Fl...Good Lord that reminds me of the house I had in Florida.

Electrical wiring being extended into the attic from the immersion heater, leaky gaps filled up with purr foam...

So lucky you decided to make a change and found it early! Our home was renovated just before we purchased it...we keep finding very strange stuff....no caulking on the kitchen sink, the sprayer never hooked up, the fan above the stove just blows stuff higher toward the ceiling..to name a few! We even have a light switch Turtlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01851819627750022788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1200562201300099140.post-44847533476879522892009-01-26T11:06:00.000-05:002009-01-26T11:06:00.000-05:00That just ain't right.That just ain't right.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1200562201300099140.post-85202057721175839022009-01-26T10:26:00.000-05:002009-01-26T10:26:00.000-05:00Eeep!

In our case it was a very nice wood burning stove that hadn't been properly vented and a chimney that was never cleaned in five years of stove use. This is why people from Florida should have professionals deal with heating issues.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02044409274474794091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1200562201300099140.post-68423268497811364542009-01-26T10:16:00.000-05:002009-01-26T10:16:00.000-05:00There just are no words.
