Oh yeah. Where it crumbles, I cut back. The wiring inside the metal armor has all still been in great condition, but I've been replacing it where I can. For the most part, they installed things really well.
I'd like to replace all my breakers with AFCI, but I don't know if I'm just going to kick myself for doing that... There have been some "interesting" upgrades after a previous owner switched to 200 A service.
We're getting our house repainted, so I took down one of the hideous lamps in the bathroom to uncover this. It was certainly a choice, but I think this may have been original to the house (ca 1940). While it's a bit much, we're trying to be authentic to the original vision of the house. Does anyone know if it's possible to find old wallpapers? Are there individuals or companies that can match designs like this?
When I was an adjunct in 2018, I earned about $4k/class.
