Hmmm. Why didn't I think of that. I would have never thought of using the shower head as a cable hanger. That's a lot easier than the way I would have done it.

Honestly I swear to god she looked at me like I was an idiot when I said "you're going to kill yourself". Oh but its ok, it was used to power a television in the livingroom. Hopefully this isn't a deal killer... Do you think it was there when they had an open house last weekend?

"At the *LOCATION*, an extension cord is used as permanent wiring, and needs to be replaced with permanent wiring."



“The things that will destroy America are peace at any price,
prosperity at any cost, safety first instead of duty first,
the love of soft living, and the get-rich-quick theory of life.”

I assume you're talking about the separated vinyl siding by the neat cord system, aren't you??

The orange extension cord is too short. Recommend replacing with a longer cord....

Classic stuff...
