How to kill a live wire.


The cock-eyed wiring here has really put my dear electrician husband to the test. A simple feed can run from one end of the house within the walls and ceiling spaces to be used to light up an overhead light in one room and in another room no where near.

We ended up opening up the wall at the top of the stairs to the upper bedroom.


Finding a live wire, not knowing everything it is feeding, is nightmare material for an electrician. 


Then he opened up a small floor board in the upper bathroom to find the live wire that was (of course and again) partially bare. 



Lucky for John we had already tore out the closet space in the bathroom because the floor we had to open up was in the far corner of the closet.

Dad should strategically go through each room and rewire everything. Goodness knows what else is hiding in those walls.

Dad is, outlet my outlet. He has cut the power to those wires and has rewired. He says he is the Great Fisherfox. That's from Fox and Hounds. This house needed him.
