J-Land Photo Shoot #127
I enjoyed last weeks contest, so here's another entry in Sometime's I Thinks J-Land Photo Shoot.
The subject this week is OLD.
This is a picture taken on my first tour of the home I live in now, which was vacant for a number of years.
The cloth electrical wires and old-school fuses above, when combined with a vastly outdated power supply (to my recollection, less than half the juice that flows into a 'normal' home), were not enough to power a modern fridge or washer.
As a result the house had only an old ringer washer and an icebox. As you can imagine we replaced and updated the electical service.
Now that I look at the link above I realize I've posted this pic before, as part of that tour. So, in the interest of not selling the same item twice, here's a shot of the washer I mentioned (there were actually two in the basement).

Tonight Lost returns for Season Four, and let the word spread far and wide: knock on my door, call my phone, Nextel me, or otherwise interrupt the glory of watching my favorite show in HD on a big screen (for the first time) and you will face a wrath unseen since the time of the Pharoahs.
Have a nice day!
