Phone Lines

The phone lines are a mess. Someone recently decided that rather than unplug the wires running between different rooms, he’d (or she’d) simply cut the wires and twist the exposed copper together! That meant that once we plugged in our phone, we had no dial tone! I dug through our nasty dirt, cob-web infested basement until I found this: our punch-down block.




I actually took this picture on our first night because our flash light was out of batteries and the camera’s flash was the only method of exploring the deep dark crevases of the nasty-ass basement.
