Where on earth is the breaker panel?

It appears that this kind of redneck installation is more common than I thought.

They were tring to cover the fact that it is a GE/Sylvania/Zinsco panel.

Correct?

Eric,

Is that kind of like this. Notice the hinges on the wall unit. I never knew there was a bathroom behind there until I couldnt find the GFCI reset and the realtor opened the bookcase.

Would love to see them re-setting a breaker in the dark!.. Looks like a hardwired smoke alarm inside the cabinet? Who's gonna hear it?

No hidden panels for me.

But I did find daddy's stash hiding place.

Hey Bill,

Is that what you call a *custom* home?

Bill,
Was there a switch under a statue, like in Batman?

He must get a great "high", especially with some added insulation.
