OUR House: Part II

Our house is old. Old as in, I'm fairly certain electricity didn't exist when it was built. With that age comes some "great" quirks. We love the all of the unique characteristics of our house, but some of those that have become favorites are:

1.  No electrical outlets in the bathroom
2.  No fan in the bathroom
3.  Two electrical outlets 3 inches away from each other in the living room (see Exhibit A)


Exhibit A


4.  A water heater that doesn't make it through the process of washing my hair without going cold

I may have used the term "favorite" loosely.

Buuuuut I have a great husband who has done the following things to make these quirks more bearable:

1. He found an adapter that screws into the light socket and has a plug, and then continued to staple a 7 foot extension cord to the wall so I could reach the plug (see Exhibit B)

Exhibit B


2. He bought matches. Almost works as well.
3.  ...Ok, this one doesn't actually bother me that much so nothing's been done about it.
4. He lets me shower first. Big brownie points there.
