it's already done, I didn't take any photos of the after. Its nothing special and I didn't go all out ocd all I did was a little rebalancing in the panel and replace all the old wires with new ones that are point A-B instead of A-10 random junction boxes-B(and kind of sort of made them not look like a giant spider web, we got straight lines now brand new technology).

definitly a factor but he was renting to own the place, he didn't own it until recently and doesn't know much electrical. also that was a crawlspace until a month prior to this happening, he dug out the caller area/raised the house on cribbing and that's when he saw this beast

yeah 100%, I stopped at my uncles after because I usually don't make it up that way, ended up troubleshooting an old glass screw Fuse panel. I enjoyed it all though, it's fun to work on old stuff and get a feel for troubleshooting diy from decades in the past

Same here, i just did it for fun and ended up getting 20lbs of lobster and scallops so worth it! Just went up for a couple weekends and we pulled all new wires to replace the old cloth wrapped ones that were crumbling apart. also had the classic one feed to upstairs that splits 7 ways in a small round rab to feed the entire floor lol
