Wham-Bam
Less than 24 hours ago, Dennis and I decided to have an electrical plug added to our basement wall next to the sump pump. At the time when Complete Basements installs our new windows we have decided to have a Complete Air unit installed next to the sump pump at the same time by the same company. It will save us a delivery charge as well as the installation charge by doing both at the same time. The new unit will have a filter for dust, mold, and mildew particulates as well as being a dehumidifier. No more carrying the dehumidifier container from its current location to the sink. It will be piped into the sump pump holding container. When winter arrives, I spend a huge amount of time in the basement sewing studio. It’s time Stauffer Avenue comes into the current century and acknowledges how important our basement square footage is to our day-to-day living.
The nuts and bolts of Stauffer Avenue was cracked open.
So anyway . . . I called Electrician Dale yesterday afternoon and laid out the plan for the work. This noon I was clearing off the dining room table from lunch and the doorbell rang. A mere several hours later and Dennis and I just got done sweeping up bits of wiring and some sawdust. Talk about fast service. Dennis has always commented that if you pay your bills on time, service people remember that. I guess so!
The visit just kept getting better. I now do not have to stand on a step stool to plug in the overhead lights on the south portion of the sewing studio. Just a flip of the switch. In total the north wall is sporting two new plugin receptacles. This is going to open up an entire new scheme of things at a time when I can get the stewing studio put back together.
The switch for the overhead lights, just like the dehumidifier container not having to be lifted, is another item indicating that this ole-timer can be a bit safer while enjoying the basement.
