    Lol. My home (not even a house, but a flat) is WWII era lol. It has rudimentary electrical installation. Like, it fullfills all requirements…if we back the clock by around 30-40 years. Some parts of it still have lead sheath. For some reason. And I have old communist newspapers as “insulation” in the floor xD

    Anyway, what I wanted to say…if you live in similiar conditions, everything that your mind connects to possible shortcircuit somehow manages to reboot you from sleep to full awareness within nanoseconds. xD

    Home maintenance is 98% keeping the water where it belongs and out of where it doesn’t.

    After decades of it, any deviation, whether sound or creak or mark or moisture, gets my immediate attention like a frugal, OCD prairie dog intent on minimizing the cost of whatever impending home disaster is about to cost it thousands of dollars.

      One morning I had a sleep paralysis while heat radiator was audibly leaking water. Woken up by sound of slowly unfolding emergency, but unable to do anything about it, even take a look, what a timing.

      Anyway, when I finally was finally able to look, nothing was out of ordinary. It was just a sleep paralysis hallucination, either fully fabricated or creatively reinterpreting sounds of water in pipes from some works
