I am not one to rock the boat, or bite a generous hand, but my boss has made a few good points, as have you all (bless you) so I'll check the legalese and go from there.<br /><br />@Hayward: if I didn't make itemized lists I would be a mess by day's end. I even map out a route to get all accomplished in the least amount of time, using minimal effort, and fuel. <br /><br />I am becoming so green I look like Kermit's grandfather!!the cajunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10905358111623645338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2707860620453967502.post-46348496159796314452010-11-19T07:36:43.858-05:002010-11-19T07:36:43.858-05:00Good idea to have those changed.

I understand your reasoning, but in another world this should be a cost borne by the landlord.<br />But beyond all that, my thought is that this cost is worth the peace of mind at removing at least one of the major hazards in an older building.<br />We we first saw our new home 3+ years ago I was pleased that it had three-pronged ("grounded") outlets. That was until we had home inspection and determined that the last owners had replaced all the outlets with 3-pronged fixtures but never properly grounded them! The short story is we also decided to bite that bullet ourselves. After we moved in we had an electrician properly install and properly ground all the outlets (along with some other work).Lemuelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15397995062492531171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2707860620453967502.post-57948088074886363302010-11-18T19:17:32.757-05:002010-11-18T19:17:32.757-05:00Peter, the landlord rented to me at a reduced rate...Peter, the landlord rented to me at a reduced rate and allowed me access for 3 weeks prior to the lease date, so I could close the storage unit and get a jump on the move, which already ran close to the beginning of the season weekend. <br /><br />He has been most generous and I don't dare challenge him on this. Besides, I'll probably die in this apartment so I may as well make it as comfortable - and safe - as possible.the cajunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10905358111623645338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2707860620453967502.post-31836028162985313442010-11-18T12:16:00.194-05:002010-11-18T12:16:00.194-05:00Can't your landlord pay for the electrical wir...Can't your landlord pay for the electrical wiring?
