On Monday 7/20/15 I got a call from the house by my new electrician, a friend of Eric's. He said he needed a minimum of $300 to complete the wiring in the new space, but he said that it would be best to replace the whole electrical box. There was not enough space on the existing unit to accommodate any new fixtures and the way that it was wired it would probably trip breakers if fully used.
Nothing about the old wiring was against code of the 60's, it was just that people didn't have as many electrical appliances as they do today. He called about 630pm and I talked on the phone, and then went over to the house so that he could show me the situation.
He has a full time job with B & B Electric and lives in Rochester and does electrical work on the side. Eric uses him for his remodeling jobs, so I guess he must be reliable. And his work will not slow down any of Eric's work.
I was supposed to do the bookcase Move Job with Ernest on Monday, but I felt that the weather looked too bad (on Sunday evening), so I cancelled and he can't do the job until Thursday, 7/23. As it turned out, it really didn't rain on Monday so I should have just gone ahead with the original plan.
On Tuesday morning 7/21 Eric came over to the condo and I paid him for the work on the living room floor and hallway at the new house. $875 plus $40 for the wood trim. $915 total.
During the last week I've been experiencing tooth pain, and I thought that it might be brushing too hard that has aggravated my sensitive teeth. However, it's gone on too long and now I feel that the last tooth filling by Dr. Floyd probably requires a root canal. I called Cigna on We 7/22 to find out about my coverage and found that he is not on The Network. I connected with Cigna and found Westside Dental Group (near Smash Burger on Chatham) and made an appointment for 10am Monday. They had one available for noon tomorrow, but that's the day that I have to move with Ernest.
On Tuesday, 7/21 I dismantled the book case in the basement. I thought that I would have to rent a skill saw to take it apart but it basically fell apart when I tipped it over. Then, I used the two wheeled dolly to put it in the dumpster. This was a major problem, but it turned out to be nothing.
Earlier in the week I spoke with Bill and Jan and found that they were very much interested in my old encyclopedia Britannica. I had already moved it to the dining room of the new house, but I took the trouble to move it back, and we put it in their basement. Their daughter, who lives in Middletown really appreciated it.
