Honestly I gotta disagree with the whole "call an electrician" thing lol. Old houses are supposed to be fun and quirky, not lifeless and sanitized. Half the charm of a 1908 place is never knowing if you're gonna get zapped when you flip a switch. Tracing circuits and labeling everything just takes all the mystery out of it. Plus those crumbling cloth wires add character and tell a story, nobody wants boring Romex in a historic home.

Rented a van lift once that broke down halfway through. Nightmare.

I mean, is it really that deep though? Machine washable rugs were around forever before the big push, just not marketed as a whole thing. People were throwing their cheap rugs in the wash for years, nobody screamed about it. Maybe some people just got caught up in a trend and now they're overthinking it. I dunno, seems like a lot of fuss over something that's been a pretty basic fix for ages.

Wait, $15 a month? My phone plan costs more than that. Did he say if that's the whole year average or just a good month?

My buddy Tom from down the street did that exact thing. Wrapped his brisket in foil for the whole cook and it came out like a science experiment. He said the bark turned into this weird soggy paste and you could scrape it off with a fork. Now he swears by unwrapped for the first few hours and only wrapping in paper after the stall. That brisket was a tough lesson but he says it taught him more than any Youtube video ever did.
