These wires did not grow here. Someone did this. Probably the homeowner
When you run out of room in a fuse box

very commonplace here with fuse panels of that vintage. usually where they added a dryer or window a/c 30-40 years ago
And these homeowners are still resistant to upgrade their service because it works and they have not had any problem!

Ahhh, well I guess if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
On the contrary, If I can't fix it, it ain't broke.

It's hard to convince people that there is a reason to upgrade when everything works and has for umpteen years. Can't say there isn't some validity to the customers view.

Did Santa bring you a camera last month?
No, I have been cleaning up the computers in the office and looking at some of my folders. Some older, some newer. I think this pic was from 2006.

I'm kinda sick of them ,... we have all seen very similar things ,. some of us almost every day.. I'm not sure what the point is .. if it is that there are folks doing crappy work,.. nothing new there ,.. if it is to get back for all the criticism of inspectors found at this site ,.. electrical work gets ripped apart all the time .. I've seen enough pictures for the pictures sake ,.thanks.

When I sold my first house back in 94 it had fuses. I didn't have a problem with them so I kept them.
It did have another fuse box next to it but it was tapped off of the bus bar on the load side of the 60amp pull out.
