You Don’t See Something Like This Every Day
We were replacing an old deck with new Trex decking in an apartment community today in Rancho Cordova. The Trex decking was installed over new pressure treated lumber that with last for many years to come. It’s a good idea to clean up the construction dust and debris regularly throughout the day.
When it was time for lunch, I wanted to make sure that I cleaned my hands before eating. When I was at the laundry room restroom sink cleaning up, I noticed that there was something unusual behind the toilet.
There was an electrical outlet in the wall directly behind the toilet. I have seen some strange things in the past, but this one I have never seen. Was it an electric toilet? Was it convenient deodorizer location? I’m not sure, but I have an idea.
It is not uncommon for apartment communities to convert laundry rooms, fitness centers, maintenance shops, business centers and manager’s offices can all be converted and switched to better fit the current management and tenant needs. This was probably the case here. The restroom was added and the electrical outlet never removed.
These changes are often done without a contractor or permits. These projects are usually done on short notice and without a lot of forethought or finances. They just get put together quickly by someone with a little bit of experience in this sort of project.
If you want a professional, safe building alteration, consider hiring a professional and getting the proper building permits before starting the job. Doing things right the first time not only produces a professional look; it is safer and well planned.
