In today’s episode of Burn it Down, Don’t Reno – The Gift That Keeps on Giving
So it turns out that Mr. President’s ongoing petty and petulant behavior is having unintended consequence, for him. In the midst of an anxiety fueled bout of insomnia a realization came to me, the closet they demolished had a cold air return in one of its walls. Guess what no longer exists on that floor of the house?
So, while spelunking in the lowest chambers of our home to verify the returns prior existence, discoveries were made: 1) our dishwasher’s power cord passes through the kitchen floor, which I now understand is a NEC (National Electric Code) no no, and plugs into a new outlet located in the basement’s unfinished ceiling between the joists, and 2) I noticed some yellow romex that I didn’t recognize, said romex runs through several floor joists in holes drilled within the bottom 2″ of the joists which thanks to Tommy Silva I also know is a no no.
Lest ye forget, I am unreasonable, difficult to deal with it, and make things harder than they need to be. Oops, Contractor’s reputation is very valuable to them or some such claptrap.
Hmm, and yes, yes, I did have to descend down into the basement, just before posting, trace the wires again, all the way to the new electrical panel this time, to make sure that I only think that I am losing my mind. I can’t even keep track of all the defects in my head anymore.
