The comparison is not very subtle. The house on the left has a modest setback (A), exposed front door near the middle of the house (B), a “face” that presents itself to the street (C), and a regular chimney. The Reid House has a large setback (A), a “private” main entrance (B), a site specific living room that is tucked back and points at the view (C), and Maybeck’s signature Venturi chimney. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/544fe083e4b0d890e82cf98a/1561323811366-8GWDEXHH9Q3NYQTU6223/FullSizeRender.jpg Blog - Rowland & Rowland Permit Survey https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/544fe083e4b0d890e82cf98a/1561325105513-78RXE274D0FD14FZLDLQ/FullSizeRender.jpg Blog - Rowland & Rowland Permit Survey https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/544fe083e4b0d890e82cf98a/1564015825579-2Z4KUK77NOTT6S7A1LFT/public.jpeg Blog - Rowland & Rowland Permit Survey https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/544fe083e4b0d890e82cf98a/1561325455631-6Z6KNECMKHLBWES2564P/FullSizeRender.jpg Blog - Rowland & Rowland Permit Survey https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/544fe083e4b0d890e82cf98a/1561331889290-PVG125DT9AWJD98DT7OU/FullSizeRender.jpg Blog - Rowland & Rowland Permit Survey Known Maybeck & White design listed as “Architect-None“ https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/544fe083e4b0d890e82cf98a/1561332018828-WDXHQBUKRRBHMVWRKFO4/FullSizeRender.jpg Blog - Rowland & Rowland Permit Survey https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/544fe083e4b0d890e82cf98a/1561343300855-5BIR6MN0S3C9GBHHJCFN/FullSizeRender.jpg Blog - Rowland & Rowland Permit Survey The 1926 Reid House, one “Lost Maybeck” design, pictured earlier https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/544fe083e4b0d890e82cf98a/1561343379555-V0N219P5EXS1A2PPI2JI/FullSizeRender.jpg Blog - Rowland & Rowland Permit Survey Our 1927 Kingsley House says no architect but I think our letter that says it was designed by Maybeck tells the real story https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/544fe083e4b0d890e82cf98a/1564016465357-2T265TT4A68L5QB5E20J/public.jpeg Blog - Rowland & Rowland Permit Survey The 1927 Kingsley House, like the 1926 Reid House, was built by Rowland and Rowland and looks like a Maybeck design. The Kingsley house also has a large setback, a private northern entrance, a west facing 1.5 story living room, the Venturi chimney, and a stone faced garage in the front corner of the lot whose roof is at ground level to add yard space, just like the Reid House. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/544fe083e4b0d890e82cf98a/1561343444685-PQIH0CF66LG6VKXPFNOI/FullSizeRender.jpg Blog - Rowland & Rowland Permit Survey The Keeler House was sold by Keeler and later was subdivided and remodeled by Rowland & Rowland in 1926, now known to be a Maybeck design. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/544fe083e4b0d890e82cf98a/1561344256418-P3288LE6IZE0N4CS6LX7/FullSizeRender.jpg Blog - Rowland & Rowland Permit Survey McCreery was one of many architects that Rowland worked with.

The eave roof rafters on this end, supported by the projecting brackets (far left) are sometimes called bargeboards. The underside of the eave is called the soffit, and in this case it's the same as the roof sheathing boards - or the boards that go on top of the rafters to make the roof plane. (Sometimes the soffit plane is below the rafters - it's made of boards that are added to the underside of the rafters). On the bottom right you can see the redwood soffit/roof sheathing. The projecting roof rafters on the non-gable sides are simply called rafter tails. On this house, they use 6x8" faux rafters to give the appearance of heavy timber framing though they do not extend up to the ridge beam. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/544fe083e4b0d890e82cf98a/1481073563876-BQ835TEO49OS3HDPS1OZ/image.jpg Blog - Original Eave Color Scheme - Key Maybeck Detail https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/544fe083e4b0d890e82cf98a/1481074970073-BHASUB1XVT34JEPNDR59/image.jpg Blog - Original Eave Color Scheme - Key Maybeck Detail https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/544fe083e4b0d890e82cf98a/1481075997358-2U0H8LFASR60VD2RAND0/image.jpg Blog - Original Eave Color Scheme - Key Maybeck Detail https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/544fe083e4b0d890e82cf98a/1481077903845-OO5LVOYK836OIJRHU9SA/image.jpg Blog - Original Eave Color Scheme - Key Maybeck Detail chrome green https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/544fe083e4b0d890e82cf98a/1481077750098-32QF3J2C41QM7F5C4W2W/image.jpg Blog - Original Eave Color Scheme - Key Maybeck Detail mystery blue stain https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/544fe083e4b0d890e82cf98a/1481077809351-KAXB2KHESCAEI17DCK8P/image.jpg Blog - Original Eave Color Scheme - Key Maybeck Detail "sulfate of iron" silver stain https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/544fe083e4b0d890e82cf98a/1481094954325-BHBBA05Q4Z3S1ZHVMXOL/image.jpg Blog - Original Eave Color Scheme - Key Maybeck Detail blue under the fireplace balcony to match the exterior soffit stain.

You allow the electricity to "escape" through the filament to the ground. A voltage is a difference in charge that allows this to happen.

Two wires come into the box, white (-)  and black (+). There is also a ground wire if the wiring is newish.

Between the switches is 14-3 wire. From the second switch box, 14-2 goes up to the light. Both switches are either on black or red. The have to be switched to the same hot wire to turn on the light, thus a three way light switch (3 because 2 switches and a light I suppose).  https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/544fe083e4b0d890e82cf98a/1430514019954-GXK0KKF36CNHITTTA8FL/image.jpg Blog - Three way switch See if you can trace the power all the way through. The white wire of the 14-3 becomes the switched hot coming back into our junction box where it feeds the original light and from there some new added cans. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/544fe083e4b0d890e82cf98a/1430514338358-IAT9FRAL4N4RN4R0E7CL/image.jpg Blog - Three way switch Pulling the middle left fuse cuts off power to the circuit we want to work on https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/544fe083e4b0d890e82cf98a/1430514416254-M9CUTOA40DDYV4VTSLHW/image.jpg Blog - Three way switch Here's our wall light. I took out the pull chain because we will have two switches for it. One wire going to the switch from the old light / junction box is the fused hot going to the switch box and coming back through the white wire as the switched hot. The other wire is 14-3 which is going between the 3 way switches. The switched hot connects to the old light and from there to the ceiling lights. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/544fe083e4b0d890e82cf98a/1430529265125-U93NYIBEDT1VA8NOYGG4/image.jpg Blog - Three way switch https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/544fe083e4b0d890e82cf98a/1430529314597-GHCR45I0DDEWWY0A44T6/image.jpg Blog - Three way switch https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/544fe083e4b0d890e82cf98a/1430529329869-EJD5BY6L1SBO4WWJIVHP/image.jpg Blog - Three way switch The three way is working!

The plaster won't stop falling until you remove it and drywall or drywall over it. Going over this mess is a lot easier than taking it all down and drywalling to the studs...
