If there are two cables coming in to the box where the light *switch* is, and one cable coming in to the box where the light *fixture* is, then this is probably what you have.If the feed from the breaker panel runs to the light *fixture* first, you're probably in for fishing some new cable.  

But it has an underground oil tank, and it's very old.  

BTW, if your move is soon you may want to rent for 6-12 months as it seems the market is going through some changes due to oil prices.Good luck!

At the level I'm at, a pm isn't worth it.I'm too small a fish for a pm.I'd sell first.

If you're fishing for contacts or the interest level of a friend and initiate, begin with a vague question and use the previous technique to continue or just move on.Information is POWER;  acquire as much as possible but give as little as reasonable.
