Oh tho...That baseboard outlet is very attractive.<br /><br />Oh those pesky lamp and appliance cords. I still try to hide them but I'm not as finicky as I use to be. My biggest pet peeve is switches in the middle of walls. I always wonder what was that electrician thinking putting that switch right where I wanted to hang a picture. <br /><br />With these slight imperfections and irritants I remind myself how lucky and grateful I am to have electricity. I appreciate most things old and the craftsmanship of the past but I'm very grateful to be living now...otherwise my hair would be a frizzled mess while I sat lazily around all summer in overly soiled clothes trying to survive in my humid mildewy house.<br /><br />The Queen Veehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14073356255364772381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7823162730236792476.post-54689126943892648272014-08-04T12:06:57.013-04:002014-08-04T12:06:57.013-04:00Patricia...HaHaHa -- I'm sure they do.

My number one pet peeve is outlets within a paneled wall that aren't centered. <br />xo, Rosemary<br /><br /><br />Anonymous...Thanks for the exciting news about wireless electricity.

I am so excited about no more unsightly plugs in the future. ☺<br /><br />BrendaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7823162730236792476.post-38375090263004299952014-08-04T10:38:03.151-04:002014-08-04T10:38:03.151-04:00I wish mine were in the baseboard.

Visually, it makes a world of difference. My house was built in 1805, so I'm glad someone knew what they were doing when wiring the house!He Who Loves an Old Househttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04325188900782810316noreply@blogger.com
