Salvaging a Garage
What do you get when you pay $15,000 for a three-story, two-family brick house with a 4-1/2-car garage?
This is the second-floor kitchen. The patio doors lead to the deck overlooking the fenced backyard The good news: The cabinets and countertops are in excellent condition.
The bad news: Fourteen floor tiles are cracked, which means that the subfloor was inadequate. So: Tear up the tile floor and install cement board to keep the new tiles from flexing and breaking.
The good news: the countertop has plenty of outlets and they're wired up with 12-gauge wire. The bad news: Every single one of them is mis-wired. The black hot wire was wired to the silver neutral terminal. And they were 15-amp receptacles. So: Replace the outlets with 20-amp receptacles and wire them correctly.
In the corner, out of view to the right, was a lot of water damage.
