Knowledge is Power — Real Estate Dictionary

I’m looking at an old house in Old Colorado City, and the inspector said it has Knob and Tube wiring and that we should get an electrical inspector to check it out.   What type of wiring is this?    It’s a method of wiring in very old buildings where the wires are attached to porcelain knows and tubes as an insulating method.  The inspector was correct, you should be a licensed electrical contractor inspect it.

The inspector we hired to look at a house in the Old North End said none of the doors have kick plates on them and he suggested we add them.     What did he mean?  Kick plates refer to a metal or plastic strip, placed at the lower edge of a door to protect it from damage by accidental kicking.  It protects the life of your door.
