How about a short story called The House.  It is about a futuristic
house on the outskirts of a city that has been recently nuked.  One of
the things I remember was the little robotic mice that tried to keep the
inside of the house clean as it started to fall apart.  (no mention of
where it got it's power from...)

If you have ever read it - I'd love to find it again.
