Oh the electric - my mom's greatest fear with this house! As I write this all of our lines are officially grounded, which I'm told is a good thing. We had the help of one of Daniel's cousins and his buddy that just happens to be an electrician. That sure did come in handy as it ended up like most projects out here - more than we expected! We replaced all of the poles outside and all of the cords are now in an actual electric box in the basement. It looks really good outside. We still have to change out the lines inside and add some outlets. As like any old farmhouse, we are lucky if a room has one outlet! I keep asking for my one outlet on a kitchen wall so that my TV can be mounted and I can watch GMA as I eat my cereal in the morning - it's the little things that matter! Some of the pictures show where Daniel has taken off the lathe and plaster in the foyer and the upstairs hallway. Once the inside wires are replaced we will put in insulation and hang the drywall! One of the other pictures shows the line outside where the wires leading to the house are also now underground instead of big scary wires hanging from the pole to the house. The jumbled mess of electrical wires in one of the pictures is where all of the wires were instead of being in an electrical box - how scary!
