All the fuse holders (and fuses) have been nicked.

Damn the plastic revolution. Posted by SoupMeister 2/10/2005 8:56 AM | remove   There's a lot of marble in Greece. Some of it is really cheap (especially near this area, it's full of marble quarries). They made their panels out of it up until the mid-50s, maybe later. Not only will they last longer than the manufacturer's warranty (though technically there was no 'manufacturer', local electricians would make these to order), if it comes off the wall it'll kill whoever's under it. Even this smallish panel is extremely heavy. Posted by IIVQ 3/22/2005 2:17 PM | remove   In Norway (uer.ca/locations/viewgal.asp?picid=83891) they use marble for electrical conduits as well! Posted by SoupMeister 3/22/2005 9:27 PM | remove   Now I wonder if there's much marble in Norway ('cause otherwise it's a bit of an extravagance to mount electricity panels on it). Posted by Armchair Traveller 4/21/2005 6:36 AM | remove   Well, given that large slabs of marble were used for toilet stall walls in Toronto, Canada; it probably couldn't have been that expensive. Stream of conciousness: the marble which was once the cubicle walls at the long defunct Eaton's College Street store got a new life as the top of the bar of a trendy Bloor Street West bar/restaurant. Posted by SoupMeister 4/21/2005 1:49 PM | remove   I suppose there are different varieties of marble. Posted by airmyles13 4/19/2008 3:53 PM | remove   Funny story... the marble panels in the Chancellery in Berlin during the rule of Nazi Germany were taken out, post-war, and were installed on the walls of a number of Berlin subway stations. (completely unrelated I know, save for the marble reference) If you'd like to add a comment, please login or register. All content and images copyright © 2002-2024 UER.CA and respective creators.
