On-site electrical planning tips and warnings

I had a general agreement,

... with the next house I want that too :D

By the way, here - typical Erzgebirge - we also have the window socket for the Schwibbogen in every window. We didn’t even mark those sockets separately. That was also generally agreed upon,

Oh no, because of a Schwibbogen phobia and I-like-some-things-without-holes-and-sockets I withdraw the general power of attorney and say: if I had known about the problem, I would have done it differently ;)

I thought you had a back problem...
It might be an old habit but why bend down to plug in the vacuum cleaner when you can do it standing up........says my wife

No, I don’t have a back problem, just as little as I have slanted platforms in the bathroom or a stuffy setup with a closed kitchen: for our single-family house, exactly one socket in the hallway is enough to let the vacuum cleaner circle around. But the real reason: I don’t like touching sockets when I am feeling for the light switch.

Because the socket at the switch or at that height simply looks terrible. I’d rather bend down.

Really?? I thought I was weird because I don’t like many things, but I guess I wouldn’t care as long as the switch or the socket looks neat. I’m probably more of a Bauhaus fan, true to "form follows back," in case someone ever assigns that to me. Tsk tsk tsk... these young ones, no idea about age-related ailments... planning a 3-meter turning radius everywhere in the house for the lowered walker in old age but bending down for the socket. Have you planned staff to help you back up again?

Really? I always find it interesting why someone does something. Good to know that you are not the only one with such "quirks" :cool: . That's exactly why you have your own house, because you don't have to explain anything there and can just do as you please. It's exactly this kind of individuality that I often look for here among all the sameness. Maybe someone should start a thread about it.......

Have you planned staff who will then help you back up?

No, but by now a cordless vacuum cleaner :cool:

Oh, may I ask about the brand and satisfaction? My Rowenta is not popular with my wife; she believes it should be able to vacuum up whole pieces of kitchen paper (from the dog) and leaves (from her plants). She firmly claims that a Dyson can do this. I wonder if it can sing or if Dyson is just good at advertising. The company boss is so unlikeable to me that I would rather avoid any purchase...

She firmly and solidly claims that a Dyson can do this.

I don't like this company, completely overpriced for an E9 salary. The thing is heavy too, isn't it? We have an agile AEG CX7 - my husband regularly pulls out endless amounts of dust (where does the vacuum get it from?), but it can't work magic either. Good purchase! Remember the power outlets!
