With no hope of playing soccer this weekend on my still recovering pulled hamstring, I drove to Schenectady to help my mother prepare her house for sale. We interviewed two Realtors and selected the clearly stronger one. Initially I thought I would spend a good portion of the day photographing the house and gardens for the listing. My attention quickly turned, however, to rectifying issues with the wiring and plumbing that are sure to fail inspection. In a fluke accident, I put my elbow through a door window and lost an hour and a half of my time to this self-generated project. I didn’t have the right tools and supplies with me to tackle the main electrical challenge which will be the conversion of the home from fuses to circuit breakers and removal of the visible knob and tube wiring which I plan to address during my next visit. Pictured below is the before picture of the electrical panel. After sundown, I attempted to photograph the Super Moon event but was thwarted by heavy cloud cover despite several hours of waiting for a break.
