I see these types of panels every now and again. Good info to know!

Is a fused electrical panel a deal-breaker?

Not necessarily — but it's something a buyer should know about before closing.

We've been finding a lot of fused panels lately on inspections throughout the U.P. This Wadsworth fuse box is from a well-maintained 1940s home in the heart of Marquette.

Fused panels like this one:
- Can't handle modern electrical loads
- Replacement parts may no longer be available
- And many insurance companies will refuse coverage or charge significantly higher premiums on homes with fused panels.

What you need to know as a buyer:

A licensed electrician can upgrade this thing to a modern 200-amp circuit breaker panel. Once that's done, you've got a solid, insurable home. Something to factor into your offer or negotiate before you close.

The more you know!! 🧐🏡🛠️

Imagine wandering into the utility room at the wrong moment.

We found this one during a recent home inspection in Munising. This water heater had no discharge pipe on its pressure relief valve — meaning if it activated, scalding water would spray freely. No pipe, no protection.

The good news? It's a quick, inexpensive fix once you know about it. 🔧

You never know what you'll find during a home inspection. Sometimes it's genuinely useful! 🍅 Check out this handwritten tomato spray recipe we found tacked up on a garage wall in Rapid River:

• 1 gallon water
• 1 Tbsp baking soda
• 1 Tbsp dish soap
• 1 Tbsp Epsom salts
• 1 Tbsp tomato fertilizer
• 3–4 Tbsp rubbing alcohol.
Got aphids? Add 1 tbsp soy garlic oil. Keep well mixed and spray thoroughly.

Gardening this year? Give it a try and let us know how it works!
