It looks pretty good to me, considering.

Are there fusses missing???

It's a back fed buss with some splices and the problem is??

Just in the first picture there.

I was feeling pretty good about this. I really stepped out of my comfort zone and did everything I was supposed to do, even if I was nervous. Did the crawl, attic, walked the roof etc...

To be honest , it is soooo hard to tell from a pic, it looks OK to me, but I am a rookie so.....

[wforsyth]

LOL, rookie? You? LOL...okay...where are the cameras? I'm on one of those shows...right?

But anyway, if you don't see anything in there that makes you uncomfortable or bites you in the nose, then that's good enough for me. Still interested in hearing from a variety of people though. Fun to get varying opinions.

thanks Todd.

No, I didn't say there was a problem. Just want to make sure I'm not missing something obvious. Or inobvious.

It is also jumpered from line 1 to line 2 thats a nother spankin.

I was trying to give this thread a run, but I spose it is tooooo late on a Saterday night and most folks have a life.......

So, I guess I repeal my earlier posts, as I had no "you farking idiot' rebuttals as I had hoped.

[wforsyth]

I'll call ya a farkin' idiot if you really need me to.

Yeah, I was hoping more people were up, or home, but oh well. C'est la vie!

[wforsyth]

BTW, client grew up in this home and just remembers those fuses always being missing and even though it was above her brother's bed all growing up, parents never fixed it. Just told the kids not to stick their fingers in the "holes".

Of course when you tell a kid not to stick their fingers somewhere, what do they do?

Yep.

Thanks Wendy, I needed that.

There are other problems as well. Do you need this report quick?

Save your self some reporting and call for a sparky for further evaluation, or you could send for Jeff Pope.

I think it's fair to say that the old fuse box is not in use.

The CH panel, from what I can see, looks okay to me. There are a few things I wish I could see better, but nothing jumps out at me. It's a split-buss panel, but you probably already know.

I'd have guessed this to be a commercial occupancy, judging from the Sonalert in the box next to the panel, but it sounds like this is a house. What was the Sonalert for? Septic alarm?

Thank God someone showed up....

Damn Mark, it does look like the old fuse box is not in use, but Wendy is a home inspector and therefore this setup would require an expert like you for evaluation? Would it not?

IMDO.
