Upon complete home inspection July 28, Three Rivers Inspection determined that there was significant electrical damage.

November 15 -- Dave with Mr. Handyman (yep, another contractor) advises Lorri and Lisa to hire an electrician immediately to take care of hanging electrical cords in the basement (one of which is 220V).  Yes, we could have been killed, especially given the vast water leakage in the basement combined with the exposed wires.

December 19 - The heat ceases to function on the second floor. Waldron Electric sends a technician who performs diagnostic test.
