Mapping The Electric

The electrician showed up. He was a nice guy.

He’s worked in my building, in other apartments, so he knew what was what, and he was reassuringly calm about the whole thing, telling me not to worry, except about that mess by the phones, which he was careful not to step too near, treating it kind of the way you would a dead skunk in the front hall.

He was reassuring, except he kept using the frightening phrase, “that’s really gonna costya.” Of course. Now he wants me to make a list of the outlets I would like and which ones I would like to disappear (ie those boxes and the mysterious Electricity to Nowhere cords, so I did.

FRONT HALL

Get rid of one box outlet
Add 4-outlet where there is a 2 near kitchen door

KITCHEN

Get rid of 6-outlet thing attached to wall by microwave
Move outlets to behind stove and fridge
Make the two 2-outlets into 4-outlets, and lower down on wall

DINING ROOM

Get rid of box outlet
Make 2 into a 4

LR

Get rid of box under A/C
Make 2 into a 4

STUDY

Make two 2-outlets into 4s, and add one near the wall facing the garden

BR

Get rid of boxes
Two 2 s to be made into 4s

Once I made my list, it didn’t seem like so much.
