I mean, what DO you do with so much extending? How fascinating that your building was once a hotel.

Yes, Valerie....it's the same with me. I seem to have the same (lack of electrical outlets) as you do. I live in a very old apartment building that was once a hotel built in 1930, so I have very few outlets to plug things into. In fact, sometimes I have to plug, unplug, and then replug Ronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15977027331657615697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8984234400935984998.post-33620268598351844322015-11-08T22:26:35.969+00:002015-11-08T22:26:35.969+00:00I really hate bad lighting.

I do't even like to think what it consumes in electricity but it is amazing.

Little light accents can also help a lot, but a big light source is always needed.
