The Historic Chicago Bungalow Initiative has a great website with one particularly neat feature that I just found today. It’s the "bungalow of the month" – a monthly PDF newsletter (too bad it’s not in html as well!) profiling one specific interesting property in the area. This month’s is Jay Lenn & Greg Diercks’ West Ridge bungalow [pdf].
installing Romex & receptacles in a plaster-on-brick wall
Our friend Matt Wyczalkowski with the St. Louis Rehabbers Club has a new set of photographs up on Flickr, detailing two different projects in the same room: running new Romex inside a wall from the basement and across a ceiling to a light fixture, going around a few corners on the way (something that many old-house owners have either had to do or SHOULD be doing soon – before our houses burn down, at least), and installing a receptacle in a plaster-on-brick wall (no easy task).
