Houses this old look cool, but they might have some dangers hidden inside. They can be, for example, extremely not fire safe and burn down very fast. You better pay some attention to it in the process of renovation. You could’ve discussed it with the person who sold you the house because this is an important issue, and you could’ve saved some money on it.
I always advise people who want to buy a house to go to an experienced real estate advisor and ask them to inspect the house and recommend the price you can agree to.

Thanks for commenting .

It doesnt have to be a old house to find surprises !! best to strip a old house down to the studs and start fresh . especially window / door frames . you will find water damage to wasp nest and who knows what . The SS MK V was a welcome tool . I cant tell ya how many empty wine bottles from the 50's we found in the walls .

Those who run their own business and rent premises for a store, cafe, office, or production often have difficulties. Calculate the budget: how much of the money invested in the business can be spent on rent. Do not forget to add the cost of utilities and maintenance payments to the rate. Comparing this with the income plan, you can determine the limit of the room, payment of which will not be a burden. Find out if there are mandatory requirements for premises for your business and contact the local authorities, talk to competitors in the shop, and consult a lawyer, e.g. It will be enough to follow these simple rules!

Building was wired correctly, remodel makes the ceiling grid hot, soo wire the building incorrectly.
Commercial building so put other people at risk.
Sounds like you would win any lawsuit once you explained it to the judge.

I was reading over some old post and something here came to mind, that is how the old tube type radios were built , back then they did not have grounded plugs , or grounded cords , they use to switch the neutral at the on switch in most appliances and not the hot wire , this meant that there was a positive current on the chassis on the radio or TV at all times .

Most radios 'back then' were ungrounded (2 wire unpolarized plug) and at some point the chassis was included in the internal circuitry.

A single pole switch was used so it had a 50-50 chance of switching the hot.

Yep they tended to be a bit of a shocker.
