Welcome
Well, here's the start of the studio-building adventure...
The electricians are at the house today working on the fire hazard that is our electrical system. They yanked out the old 100A fuse panel and put in a 150A circuit panel. Our amperage won't get bumped up until next week, though -- we have to wait for the inspection and then Duquesne Light needs to run our service from a different location, as our wires are all crossing over our neighbor's yard and were coming down a horribly-rusted pipe into the meter.
They're working now on running a second circuit through the bedrooms (everything was on one circuit) and fixing the wiring atrocities in the basement. Never before have I seen such a long chain of things plugged into other things plugged into other things and so much wire crammed into such tiny junction boxes. For all its faults (cough cough AFCI cough cough) modern electrical code makes me feel a hell of a lot more comfortable, even if it is an inconvenience sometimes.
