Estimates for replacing a fuse box can go as high as $1000
so don't be shocked.

Was that a pun?

There is nothing unsafe about fuses and now that
you understand what happens when one o fthe mains goes you're really
covered at this point.

I agree that there isn't anything inherently unsafe about fuses, but
not everyone sees it that way. I bought a run-down house in another
city a few years back. I've actually never seen it, only pictures. In
the listing details, appearance was described as "poor." I didn't
think I'd be able to get financing, but my agent said I could get a
"drive-by" appraisal if I put 25% down on the house. Their were only
two things that needed to be verified:

1. The house existed.
2. The original equipment fusebox on the outside wall had been
replaced at some time by a breaker box.

(Here's a pic of the place my agent sent me in 2007, just before I
bought it

The only thing missing is an old woman sittin' in the chair with a
shotgun and a bloodhound at her side.

I heard banjo music when the page came up. 8-)
