I didn't do that 2 nights ago...

YOU CAN RITE GUD NOW But for real, all of the congrats <3

My grandfather bought the house in 1975 and had it changed from a duplex to one whole house in 1978, so I think at that time those fixtures were worthless. Though as much antique shit he hoarded, I am surprised the old fixtures haven't popped up yet.

Yeah, all the fixtures and door hardware are long gone. Even the gas lanterns the house had before electric was installed is gone.

Yes, but it also tastes good. Do a shot = numb face for 15 minutes.

Like $20? I dunno.

You need Bacardi 151.

Eat my ass like candy

He is very careing.

He has been both for years.

My dad had me install dimmer switches on all kinds of shit in his house FUCK THOSE.

Nah, 70's wiring is totally fine. In fact wiring codes haven't changed much since then. 60's had a little bout of aluminum wiring that was disastrous., 50's and 40's... well there were fuses rather than breakers... and 30's and older was knob-and-tube, which is shit I have dealt with in the past. Ugh. Oh and no asbestos. My dad's house from 1954 has asbestos siding, but it can't hurt you unless you break it up and breathe in the dust.

It will be getting replaced this summer. A new MUCH more efficient furnace is only juuuust some change over $500.

Why do you think that sign is on the back of his Ranger?

The heating system in this house is original from 1973... and I already had to rig it

I kind of like pushing a button, though these fuckers are LOUD

There are reproductions, but my 1894 house had most of the old stuff already out. Plus the house is 2 blocks from a college campus so making it modern was the better route.

I think they're the like "second design" of light switches. I remember the farm house my g-pop renovated had what I have, and two were like a toggle thing that fucking arced when you flipped it on

One even still had the brass cover plate!

Tested tried and true! They were removed from two bedrooms just before New Year's, and had been in the house when electricity was installed in (I think) 1928. Even survived a re-wiring in 1978! I'll hop on my phone and grab a pic

Oh I was fine today

I could parallel park that bitch in in downtown Philly with one and a half eyes.
