I thought foxes ate grapes (Aesop, etc.) but just to be on the safe side, I will take out my beginning grape vine.Karen Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13306986336556283751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7865137195444403241.post-72557879110692052122008-09-14T15:00:00.000-05:002008-09-14T15:00:00.000-05:00Thanks, Sandy!

You have to walk to the middle of the room and pull the cord to turn on the overhead! Talk about not up to current code. I'd prefer a plastic switch in those rooms to nothing at all. :-) (By the way, the pie photos are up.)Joannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17374925727669703513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7865137195444403241.post-49958985693141854392008-09-10T01:29:00.000-05:002008-09-10T01:29:00.000-05:00The pushbutton switches are so cool, Joanne!

It's amazing some of the fire trap hazards that can be found in these old homes. <BR/><BR/>karen anne--One or two of the other houses we looked at still had the push button switches, which led us to think that <I>nothing</I> had been updated in those homes as far as electrical. But the garage of the house we ended up with has the really old dial switches.

It's the dimmer aspect that jacked the price up for this one--just not a lot of competitors manufacturing them, I guess.Joannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17374925727669703513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7865137195444403241.post-28808559985958051532008-09-09T02:52:00.000-05:002008-09-09T02:52:00.000-05:00Your new one is beautiful.
