At some point the house had a gas fireplace. The flipper took it out, but left the gas line and shutoff valve in the basement ceiling… hiding it behind drywall. I remove the orphaned gas line and shutoff valve and capp-off the black pipe junction. ($2.41)

I also find and rewire an ungrounded AC outlet. ($8.22)
