Used breaker panel, cheap

The electrcian just left. Doesn't that sound ominous?

Our circuit breaker panel is a mere 33 years old. It has given its all and requires replacing. We do have restored service until the ominous appearance is necessary, again, for the full face-lift.

We started life here with a fuse box in the good ole days. Moving up to circuit breakers felt so modern, 33 years ago . . .

Wow, there's another generation of electric boxes than breakers???

I thought I was in hog heaven at the house we live now when I turned on the microwave and the toaster at the same time and didn't blow a fuse or open the breaker. Used to do that all-a time in the old house on the canal. That's why we didn't have eggs or hot coffee with toast in the mornings. The utility room was outside the house and you had-a run out in your night clothes to reset things.

It's definitely older than me. The box is all I know. I don't know the new stuff.
