Default 1920 Home Panels
Interesting industrial sized main disconnect with multiple panels from yesterday's inspection.

Is it just me (or the picture) or does the top roof line in picture #2 slope from left to right?

The rear of the home has substantial water and termite framing damage. Many issues with this home. I posted here because I have never encountered a main disconnect like this one during a residential inspection.

Not too uncommon in older homes, especially in areas where the PoCo owned and installed the main panels or where 3 phase residential service was installed.
