Denray Posted January 4, 2017 Report Share Posted January 4, 2017 1880's house with one ceiling lamp in each room. No switches, no outlets till you get back to the additions. 1900 sq ft. (3) 20 amp circuits. Chimney a gonner. Roof toast. Plumbing bad.

John Kogel Posted January 5, 2017 Report Share Posted January 5, 2017 No switches? There's one right there on the lamp socket. [] That chimney looks like it might have bounced around a bit, maybe from a seismic tremor? Gravity will prevail if nothing else happens first. Firetrap defies all odds and is now for sale for how much? [] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Amaral Posted January 6, 2017 Report Share Posted January 6, 2017 I hit two (2) 30-A 120v Services in the 21 years of inspection.... one was spitting distance from Boston College.... Amazing... Both were 'Twilight Zone' houses with Twilight Zone owners.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wedgren Posted January 7, 2017 Report Share Posted January 7, 2017 I have had a few 110 volt services . The best was a Bungalo in Dedham , MA . The home was built cira 1915 and had 1 owner . Very few updates were done . The original gas stove /water heater was still in place , but the active water heater was a heat exchanger off the steam boiler . Water from the tap was 180 degrees ! The original electrical system was still in place , 3 circuits , all knob and tube wiring and a wooded fuse panel . The house was like a museum , the kitchen and bathroom were original and in pristine condition . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
