You can never have too many lamps
but the zigbee has trouble with the fuckin lead paint or something. this place is hard on some radio signals. and keeping warm. and keeping bugs out. and the floors being out of level, but differently depending on how humid it is and,
Lamp store is my vibe
You can when there is no ground in the electrical.
luckily the electrical has been installed and replaced twice in this place. thankful for that at least! i don’t believe it originally had anything resembling modern electrical outlets till this house was 20 years old!
but no low voltage cabling installed : (
i got fiber and cat and coax running next to the walls haha. looks a little steam punk
I’ve purchased enough cans of spray foam that I think on average its probably down to a 70-80 year old house on average.
that shit can be dangerous. i haven’t touched it since the incident
Well huffing expanding foam is certainly gonna lead to a incident
Any frozen pipes?
knocks on wood - not yet!
wood disintegrates
wood knocks back
squirrels trying to sleep here!
What about lead pipes?
all plumbing replaced with plastic! yayy, for about 30 years
All the way out to the street? How about sewer and gas lines?
there are ancient gas lines! but unused, house Is full electric
unsure about the water main
knocks on lead hot fed!

be good friends with your neighbours
there will be leaks
from everywhere
the cross-the-street neighbors leave their dog outside forever : (
i already have two rescue dogs that drive me crazy or id go save that one too!
animal control here is the inspiration for the parks and rec duo, but no good weed
Do you want moths? Cause this is how you get moths.
