We have not had electrical power in my son's bedroom and the bathroom for several years. I read that most wiring done before 1970 is aluminum and would be a big fix. I don't know where to put all my "stuff" so that I can get an electrician in here. I have boxes of stuff and trashbags full of clothing and my garage is full. A neighbor offered to help me pick up clutter and I don't know why. She hasn't asked for money. Makes me wonder if she is looking for drugs/other stuff to steal. When I asked her what she wanted she said, just let me use your tiller. Or maybe she really is just a nice person.

I did buy six smoke detectors and put them in rooms. I am trying to not use lights in my house unless I am in the room and I do not use electrical outlets in the five rooms that are on one breaker. (So I can't use my CPAP which makes me more tired). Our living room is on the back of the house where there was a patio at one time and I hope the wiring is okay in that room so we have extension cords from that room to my son's room for computer.

I spent $8 and joined Angie's List and the electrician that my pdoc uses has good ratings (but the pdoc said he was kind of pricey). Worth it if he is competent I suppose.

I don't know where to start. If I could get the garage cleaned out I could put boxes there but my garage door doesn't work and the service guy said I have to clean the clutter (wet moldy clothes) from half the garage floor so he can fix the garage door. I haven't picked up clutter in weeks. I am emotionally overloaded. And a procrastinator.
