I started an earlier thread to discuss options to remodel an old 1972 house. I mentioned it has a lot of weird gadgets and someone asked me to post some pics. So here are some of them...
Kitchen counter top has a flush mount blender:

Any idea how I open these windows with an awning handle twenty feet up?

OK here is a puzzle...in the maid's quarter there is a recessed cabinet with a ironing board:

see the left side there is a verticall mounted thing? A closer look:

There is a light bulb, an outlet, a timer, a switch...I have no idea what it is. The light bulb is to provide light while ironing? But there are overhead lights in the room. What is the timer for? The outlet can be used to plug in an iron I guess...
I found a central air vac in the garage...but it does not work. Each room has an outlet in the room to attach a hose (no hose to be found anywhere). I wonder if it is worth the $ to replace the vac unit and get new hoses. or it is better to use just a normal vaccum. Are central air vac really that convenient? It seems to be a lot of work attaching and detaching the hoses.

Oh one more thing...what is this?

It is inside the garage. I turned it on and nothing. It seem to be connected to the sprinkler system but it does nothing.
I found more gadgets today. Will post more pics as I take them.
