Our cabin in Knox County, OH has a few quirks. This is because we weren't around much during its construction. Things happened. Such as the installation of two totally out-of-reach electrical outlets.
See what I mean?
The cabin was built by an Amish man and his crew. Although the Amish electrician had no electricity in his own house, he made sure we had plenty of outlets in the cabin. There's even an outlet inside a kitchen cabinet. Now that I can understand. But this? Apparently he took it upon himself to install a couple of spare outlets while the scaffolding was up. When we asked about them, he said, "Well, I thought you'd need them for Christmas lights." Guess it didn't occur to him that the scaffold would be long gone by then.
About a month ago, my sister and her husband were staying at the cabin. The builder's crew--all Amish, of course-- came back one day to power-wash the exterior. Margaret and Russ were sweeping fireplace ashes into the chute, when part of the lid disappeared down the chute. They called us. We suggested they ask Roman, the foreman, about how to retrieve it.
Russ approached one of the men. "Is Roman here?"
"Nope."
"Well, can I get in touch with him?"
"Nope."
He turned away. Russ heard him mutter, as if this should have been obvious, "He don't have a cell phone."
I guess your electrical outlet installer foresaw the day when you would be climbing the walls and need light!
ReplyDeleteThat is pretty funny to see those outlets up so high !
