My Parents Have This Ingenious $13 Surge Protector in Every Room (I Just Bought One, Too!)

Last year, I lived in an old apartment that would seemingly impose a new problem on me every day. Whether it was the windowsills that would get dusty again hours after I cleaned them or the mouse I discovered living under the oven, I felt like I couldn’t catch a break. One of my favorite issues was the messed-up power circuit system. Every room but the kitchen ran on the same circuit, so it would get overwhelmed very quickly.
