The elderly are very reluctant to part with old things, and when the spouse asked to take apart the old mother-in-law of the fifties,
to transfer it to a distant pantry and reassemble there, then I could only moan with sad sorrow and then only sigh. A pantry is not a pantry, a barn is not a ten square barn. it doesn’t drip from the ceiling, it doesn’t blow through the walls, but more than one five-year plan at first put unnecessary things into it, and then completely dumped them. Here, the last shelter was found to be fully functional antique items that have become obsolete. Refrigerator "ZIL"
Sewing machine "ZINGER",
Black and white and color tube TVs,
Radios, radios and tape recorders
all stripes. A few old vacuum cleaners
and even a gramophone,
not counting kitchen and household utensils - chopping mortars, irons, washing machines.
I remembered that my nephew was carried away by collecting old things and completely calmed down - I’ll give it to my relative, not to a landfill. And there; Out of sight, out of mind.
Nephew made three flights with trailer at his car car, transferred, without disassembling, mother-in-law a chiffonier, gave us twenty "THANKS" and was such. Near the wardrobe they decided to make and install racks with shelves for glass jars (containers). I was allowed to install a couple of shelves and a locker to fit my needs. Here I draw attention to the fact that one cartridge with a light bulb hangs from the ceiling, which turned on and off by screwing it into an electric cartridge or twisting it out of it and that’s all! No wiring, no sockets, no switch. How to work with power tools? It was recalled that a long time ago, at work, this was the case.
I found an electric cord in the storerooms about two meters,
base from a non-working energy-saving light bulb
and an electric plug from an old vacuum cleaner.
Using a soldering iron
soldered one end of the electric cord to the connector,
and others to the cap.
Open part of the base with hot melt adhesive
closed with a suitable plastic stopper.
In a couple of hours the problem was resolved,
and I got a new useful gadget made do it yourself.
