QUESTION: 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

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.
ANSWER: Looks like a booster pump. What's the white coiled pipe running behind it?
Its on both sides of the pump, runs behind it.
Back in the 70's it was common to put the washer/dryer out in the garage so
that pipe could be one of those cheezy dryer hoses, for venting.
Though, where the pipe goes through the wall there is unpainted grout,
implying the pipe was installed after the original house was built..
