Old Man Street
This weblog is documenting one couple’s adventures in knocking an old house back into shape. Adventures with Mold! Flammable Treasure! Mid ’60’s Tile Work!
It has already given me a couple of good ideas as to how to attack a few things around this place. Instead of mold, I’m battling subterranean termites — the worst kind. So far, I have found that if I dump a bit o’ bleach on the wall/ground where they are trying to invade, they seem to eventually give up.
Given that the Old Man is, well, old, I’d bet they are dealing with quality mid-50s or prior wiring like the stuff I’m dealing with. Two prong, ungrounded outlets that have occasionally had a three pronger dropped in just ’cause some idiot thought it was more convenient.
