I found this 1920's circa electric panel in an 1850's antebellum home a few years back. The sales brochure said that the home had been rewired! Well, it had been but back in the 1920's when they added electricity to it! The best thing about it was that everything still worked in the home. Oh, and the white material inside of the wood box is asbestos sheeting.
Next we have the Welcome doormat roof patch! New and stylish. I found this on a home over in the Mississippi Delta. A classic if I have ever seen on! The home had additional roof damage but this was the the repair to beat them all.
This is one of my more favorite finds! The owner used a nylon rope to secure the electrical line to the side of his house. The support had pulled out (due to a tree growing in the front yard) and he then just tied it to a nail that was holding the CATV cable.
I have hundreds of photos that I have collected over the years. As I have time I will post some of the more memorable ones.
