Mainitsin talon esittelypostauksessa ohimennen, ett\u00e4 ymm\u00e4rr\u00e4mme nyt miksi myyj\u00e4 on tehnyt asioita talossa tietyll\u00e4 tavalla. H\u00e4n on nimitt\u00e4in pit\u00e4nyt koko taloa kylmill\u00e4\u00e4n, lukuunottamatta keitti\u00f6t\u00e4 ja pesutiloja. Tulipesi\u00e4 ei ole l\u00e4mmitetty lainkaan pariin vuoteen. T\u00e4st\u00e4 syyst\u00e4 emme uskaltaneet suoraan tuikata tulta niihin vaan ensin piti tilata nuohooja ne tarkistamaan. Siihen asti piti p\u00e4rj\u00e4t\u00e4 s\u00e4hk\u00f6l\u00e4mmityksell\u00e4. No asensimme talossa olleet s\u00e4hk\u00f6patterit kiinni ja alkuun varovaiselle l\u00e4mm\u00f6lle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kun seuraavan kerran tulimme talolle eteinen, sali ja ruokahuone olivat kylmin\u00e4. Suihkun ja vessan valot pime\u00e4n\u00e4. Ensin iski paniikki, sitten j\u00e4rki puski takaraivoon ett\u00e4 sulaketaulua tutkimaan. Vaihdoimme noiden huoneiden sulakkeet ja taas saatiin valoa ja l\u00e4mp\u00f6\u00e4. Paitsi ettei saatu, sulake paloi samantien uudelleen. Noiden kaikkien kolmen huoneen pistorasiat oli nimitt\u00e4in kytketty saman sulakkeen alle eik\u00e4 se raukka kest\u00e4nyt viitt\u00e4 l\u00e4mp\u00f6patteria, valoja ja suihkun lattial\u00e4mmityst\u00e4. Ei siis ihme ettei koko taloa ole l\u00e4mmitetty, eih\u00e4n se ole yksinkertaisesti ollut mahdollista pelk\u00e4ll\u00e4 s\u00e4hk\u00f6l\u00e4mmityksell\u00e4. Meill\u00e4 oli kyll\u00e4 tiedossa ett\u00e4 modernimmatkin s\u00e4hk\u00f6t talossa on tehty melko j\u00e4nn\u00e4ll\u00e4 tavalla, mutta itselleni oli hiukan j\u00e4rkytys ett\u00e4 ne olivat n\u00e4inkin surkeat. T\u00e4m\u00e4 my\u00f6s selitti sen miksi yhdest\u00e4 kaapista l\u00f6ytyi j\u00e4rjet\u00f6n m\u00e4\u00e4r\u00e4 sulakkeita. Niit\u00e4 on totisesti tarvittu jos ne ovat jatkuvasti paukkuneet rikki. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Asiantilan n\u00e4in ollen, meid\u00e4n oli pakko hommata s\u00e4hk\u00e4ri ennenkuin pystyimme muuttamaan taloon asumaan. Ensimm\u00e4inen paikalle saamamme s\u00e4hk\u00f6asennusfirma ei oikein tajunnut ett\u00e4 haluamme vanhanaikaisesti kaikki s\u00e4hk\u00f6t pintavetoina emmek\u00e4 ole kiinnostuneita mist\u00e4\u00e4n moderneista kattoon upotetuista tunnelmavaloista tai muistakaan h\u00f6mp\u00f6tyksist\u00e4. Lis\u00e4ksi toinen asentajista omasi hiukan alentuvan asenteen, joka sai karvat nousemaan pystyyn. Ilmoitettuamme ett\u00e4 valintamme ei osunut heihin, he toki laskuttivat mojovasti katselmusk\u00e4ynnist\u00e4, jota itse pyysiv\u00e4t. Toinen s\u00e4hk\u00f6firma olisi mieluusti ottanut homman, jos olisi ehtinyt. Heill\u00e4 oli kuitenkin niin isoja keikkoja ja kiire aikataulu, ett\u00e4 kertoivat reilusti etteiv\u00e4t yksinkertaisesti ehdi. Kolmas kerta toden sanoi ja saimme naapurikyl\u00e4st\u00e4 asentajan hommiin. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

P\u00e4\u00e4timme aluksi asua p\u00e4\u00e4osin alakerrassa, niinp\u00e4 s\u00e4hk\u00f6t uusittiin p\u00e4\u00e4asiassa vain alakertaan. Loput tehd\u00e4\u00e4n sitten tila kerrallaan sit\u00e4 mukaa kun niit\u00e4 remontoidaan. My\u00f6s vanhanaikainen s\u00e4hk\u00f6keskus uusittiin moderniin automaattiseen jakokeskukseen. Alakerran s\u00e4hk\u00f6j\u00e4 jaettiin useamman vaiheen alle joten sulakkeet eiv\u00e4t poksahtele nyt ihan niin helposti. Toki my\u00f6s hiljattain saamamme ilmal\u00e4mp\u00f6pumppu helpottaa tilannetta kun s\u00e4hk\u00f6pattereita ei tarvitse hehkuttaa niin paljoa. Saliin, paraatipaikalle hankittiin vanhantyyliset tekstiilip\u00e4\u00e4lysteisilt\u00e4 n\u00e4ytt\u00e4v\u00e4t kierreiset pintaveto-johdot ja vanhan malliset v\u00e4\u00e4nt\u00f6kytkimet Domus Classicalta. Ne ovat sen verran hinnakasta tavaraa, ett\u00e4 muualle p\u00e4\u00e4tettiin hankkia mustaa muovista pintavetojohtoa ja mustat vanhan henkiset muovikytkimet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mit\u00e4 tulee tulipesien l\u00e4mmitt\u00e4miseen niin edellisen omistajan tekosyy oli ett\u00e4 kun talvet ovat olleet niin leutoja, ei tulipesi\u00e4 ole mukamas tarvinnut l\u00e4mmitt\u00e4\u00e4. Sis\u00e4ilma-asiantuntijan mukaan suositeltava sis\u00e4l\u00e4mp\u00f6tila olisi kuitenkin v\u00e4hint\u00e4\u00e4n +15 astetta my\u00f6s asumattomassa talossa. N\u00e4inh\u00e4n t\u00e4\u00e4ll\u00e4 ei ollut sill\u00e4 yl\u00e4kerrassa, jossa ei ollut s\u00e4hk\u00f6l\u00e4mmitys p\u00e4\u00e4ll\u00e4, asteita oli homekoiran k\u00e4ynnin aikana viime marraskuussa -2. Jotkut tosin ovat sit\u00e4 mielt\u00e4 ett\u00e4 asumattomassa talossa riitt\u00e4\u00e4 kunhan sis\u00e4l\u00e4mp\u00f6tila on muutaman asteen enemm\u00e4n kuin ulkona, ongelmia ilmaantuu vasta sitten kun ulkona on l\u00e4mpim\u00e4mp\u00e4\u00e4 kuin sis\u00e4ll\u00e4. Itse en t\u00e4st\u00e4 hirve\u00e4sti ymm\u00e4rr\u00e4, joudun luottamaan ammattilaisen sanaan. Sen verran kuitenkin tied\u00e4n ett\u00e4 kylmist\u00e4 hormeista tulee my\u00f6s kylm\u00e4\u00e4 ilmaa sis\u00e4\u00e4n jos niit\u00e4 ei s\u00e4\u00e4nn\u00f6llisesti l\u00e4mmitet\u00e4. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oli miten oli, kun ryhdyimme uuneja l\u00e4mmitt\u00e4m\u00e4\u00e4n niin ne tarvitsivat esil\u00e4mmityst\u00e4 ilmalukon poistamiseksi. K\u00e4ytimme ulkoroihuja ja saimmekin toisen hormin melko hyvin vet\u00e4m\u00e4\u00e4n. Sen sijaan pienempi hormi jossa ovat alakerran pikkuhuoneen tulipes\u00e4 sek\u00e4 yl\u00e4kerran ainoa tulipes\u00e4 ei tahtonut vet\u00e4\u00e4 sitten mill\u00e4\u00e4n. Syykin selvisi kun piippuun oltiin asentamassa hattua ja naakkaverkkoa. Piipun p\u00e4\u00e4lle oli muodostunut rapsakka lumi- ja j\u00e4\u00e4kerros joka esti savun p\u00e4\u00e4syn l\u00e4pi. Piipunpellitt\u00e4j\u00e4 poisti lumet ja n\u00e4in saatiin sekin hormi vet\u00e4m\u00e4\u00e4n. Emme tosin ole juurikaan n\u00e4it\u00e4 kahta tulipes\u00e4\u00e4 k\u00e4ytt\u00e4neet ihan turvallisuus syist\u00e4. T\u00e4m\u00e4n hormin ymp\u00e4rilt\u00e4 nimitt\u00e4in puuttuu yl\u00e4pohjassa asianmukainen paloeriste t\u00e4ysin. Aikanaan sekin sinne saadaan, mutta se vaatinee hiukan purku- ja rakennushommia eik\u00e4 yl\u00e4pohjaan ole kiva menn\u00e4 pakkasella joten j\u00e4\u00e4nee hamaan tulevaisuuteen. Onneksi p\u00e4rj\u00e4\u00e4mme kuitenkin n\u00e4ill\u00e4 kolmella alakerran tulipes\u00e4ll\u00e4 toistaiseksi. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the first show-and-tell-post of our house I mentioned that now we understand why the seller made things certain way here. They kept the house pretty much cold, except the kitchen and bathrooms. They had not been lighting up the fireplaces atleast for couple years. For this reason we didn’t want to do that either before the chimney sweep had been checking them up. Untill then we had to manage with electric heating. So we plugged them on and turned to low heat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next time when we visited the house, hallway, livingroom and diningroom were cold. Lights in shower room and toilet were out. First we panicked but then we got to our senses and checked the fuse box. We replaced the fuses for those rooms and yay, we got light and heating back. Except we didn’t. Fuse burnt again straight away. All sockets of those three rooms were under the same fuse. It could not handle five radiators, lights and floorheating in the shower room. We did know that the electricity in this house was bad, but we didn’t realize it was this bad. It was a bit of a shock to me. This also explained why there was huge pile of fuses in one of the drawers. They sure have been needing them with that kind of set up. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So with situation like this, we needed the electrician to come and fix things before we were able to move in. First company we contacted didn’t really understand we didn’t want any fancy smancy ceiling spotlights and other modern stuff and we wanted all wires done ontop of the walls, not inside wall construction. Also one of the two electricians was a bit condescending towards me, which didn’t really do any good. When we announced that we have chosen not to use their services they charged us for their consultation, which they requested themselves. Second company would have loved doing the job, but they said they have too big other jobs and very rushed schedule that they didn’t really have time to do it. So third time was the charm, we managed to find local electrician who came to do it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We decided to live just downstairs at first, so we renewed electricity mainly downstairs. Rest of the house are done as we renovate spaces. The old fashioned fuse box was also updated to modern automated one. Downstairs electrics are now divided to several phases instead of one. We also had air heat pump installed, which means we don’t have to have so many radiators on, which also helps on the strain of fuses. Living room is the main area of the house, so visible wiring was done with old-style twisted wires, porcelain holders and old turn-switches. Those are quite expensive, so in other rooms we got black plastic wires and cheaper old-styled plastic switches. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When it comes to the fireplaces, previous owner had an excuse that because winters have been so mild, there hasn’t been any need for lighting them. Inside air specialist however recommends that even houses which are not in permanent use, should be heated up atleast to +15 Celcius, to keep constuction dry. That wasn’t the case here. Last November when we had the sniffer dog looking for mold, temperature upstairs was -2 Celcius in one area. Some people say that if house is not lived in, 2 degrees more than outside is enough, problems start to occur when inside temperature goes below what it is outside. I don’t understand much about this so I just have to trust the professionals. But what I do know is that cold chimneys will draw cold air inside, so they need regular use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anyway, when we started to heat up the fireplaces, they needed pre-heating to remove so-called airlock. We used large outdoor candles to warm up chimneys, that way it is easier to light the actual fire. This way we managed to get three of our fireplaces working pretty good. However fireplaces in the little room and upstairs refused to work properly. We found out why when we had chimney cover installed. There was crust of ice and snow covering the chimney top and smoke didn’t really have way out. It was removed and that chimney should be working aswell. Allthough we have not been using those fireplaces much for safety reasons. That chimney is completely missing the fireproof insulation. It will be eventually installed, but that requires some repairs which are not fun to do in the attic when it’s freezing outside. Thankfully we should be ok with three working fireplaces for now. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
