Just got a call from the electrician and he and his assistant (a journeyman electrician, actually) are at the house working now. He wanted to know if I wanted him to take down the ceiling fans and re-wire those. There is also a workshed on the side of the house and he wanted to know if I wanted those outlets replaced as well. I said yes to both. The workshed definitely needs it because he said he saw one outlet there that was burned out. He also has to pull out the appliances and change the wiring behind those. I informed him the appliances are being replaced and he can save himself some time and effort by not bothering to re-install them. He also commented that the outlets in the kitchen were filthy - they are caked with grease and dirt. He's found about 50% copper wiring and 50% aluminum wiring. The good news is that he thinks he can get everything done today.

Thanks for the kind words! I know what you mean about hot markets. My neighbor bought his house 2 years ago for $189,000. He's got it listed now for $349,000. That's actually a $20,000 drop from what he had it listed at - and he had a buyer at that price, but it fell through.
