Default I guess people can't read labels...

One for the professionals. A commercial install / very old industrial converted into store...
If you guys saw this place and the wiring you would cringe...

Enjoy...

You must not have a fire marshal inspection of commercial property there.
That is the kind of thing they will red tag you for here. Three of those tags and they padlock your door.

I was on a trip....to small town Michigan.... Not my neighborhood...

This old place had every conceivable mish mash of exposed wire, open junction boxes, discarded equipment, rusty rusty equipment... Zip cords , tape everywhere and fixtures hanging from wire....

In my neck of the woods the place would have been inspected....I think

Beyond what looks like a terminating SEC to the panel, all I see is something that a brillo pad and some Rustoleum could correct.

Who installs a panel in between closely spaced windows on a brick wall anyways? Is it a Chicago thing?

Pat;

Only you would use the phrase:

"A very cool old factory.."

But, that is why you are so cool (and a TOTAL construction nerd).

And very helpful to all of us in this area.

Thanks;

I believe that the one on the right os an old fire extinguisher.

The one on the left looks like electroplated parts being dried.

I don't drink beer. Beam and Coke.

How'd I do?
