This condo was built in 1979 so that makes it 44 years old.  I don’t think they ever changed the electrical or plumbing ever since because this is vintage stuff.

The new light switches are made in China so this won’t last for 44 years.

I got an estimate to change all the electrical light switches and outlets and they electric company quoted me $1000.  The parts only costed me $40 so I saved a lot of money today.

Then I had time to do the plumbing too.  I got an estimate of $950 to change the water valves for the condo.  The parts costed me only $60.  I can’t believe how much labor these guys charge!  Crazy!  I literally saved almost $2000 today.

I took me all afternoon so I thought I’d treat myself to an ice cold Kirin draft beer.  Cheers to saving a lot of money today!
