I just put the extras in the fridge to enjoy right now..
I can pretty much guarantee it.There were so many switches and extra thermostats and gadgets that were just taped over when we moved in here.
Our house didn’t even have electricity or running water when it was built, so these things were added in over time and there have been a lot of different ways of doing electrical throughout the years.We’re lucky to have a couple of rooms (like the kitchen and master bedroom) that are completely modernized and up to code, and the rest of the house is only a little outdated, mostly.One of the houses we looked at had all kinds of crazy things going on, like knob and tube wiring mixed with other things, and it was just a little too much for us to deal with at the time.
We do have some pretty ridiculous looking outlets though.They’re functional, but we’ve been slowly updating them as we go through the renovations on different rooms.. Leaky Roofs.
So, our roof wasn’t too old when we moved in.
It was about 10 years old, but it was leaking in MULTIPLE places!.I added in some simple ceramic knobs to finish if off..
I let it dry for a few hours, then I came back to it.Before you can start drawing on your chalkboard, you need to “season” it.
This basically means that you rub chalk all over it and then you smear it around with a rag really quickly.At the bottom you can see where I had rubbed the chalk on, and that the top you can see how it looks after it’s been smeared.
