@ frog - If my A in Basic Electricity is serving me well, that would be the main power breaker for the whole panel?

In which case I wouldn't even put my hand near it, nevermind actually FLIP the thing!

@ Urban - not to threadjack but you can play Silent Hill even if your PS1 broke like mine did; grab a program called Epsxe. It emulates a PS1 and can play SH start to finish without a single problem, I've done it.

LOL. Soap dispenser jokes are still going strong I see!

I second the motion that you really get around!

At first I thought you were kidding...holy cow...dodging activity is no small thing for any urbexer short of an expert - which you apparently are!

@ Grumpy - Great story, prolly funnier for me than you, and even funnier that the Dukane survived your, ah, amateur wiring attempt.

@ Guitorman - I heard about a lab that had to move heavy containers of anything dangerous by putting it in the elevator, getting out, and having someone downstairs push the call button.

There was literally no other way to move anything you couldn't carry besides the stairs. And lugging, say, a big container of liquid nitrogen down a set of stairs is akin to playing Russian Roulette with a shotgun.

That they left records behind is a disgrace and that they left TB cultures is terrifying. You could literally wreak bio-terror by skulking through old hospitals and picking up samples of stuff that some idiot didn't incinerate.

@ KahunaTony - Usually it's not worth the effort. Reselling medical equipment on the quiet is very hard to do even if you resell it fairly cheap - that *** is EXPENSIVE - and demonstrate as best you can that everything is in perfect working order.

Lots of "ifs", it's worse than moving furniture: just as heavy plus it can be way more fragile.

Love the color contrast.

Motts, you really almost made me cry with this one. You have some very moving and/or sad photos on your site, and I'm going through your galleries like nuts, but so far nothing even comes close to the shot.

Go figure that a picture on the Internet of a dirty old piece of paper with less than 100 words can hit you like a stomach punch.

@ mikeyintheoc - try having a disabled girlfriend. I see past everything she has trouble with and love her dearly, but she makes me thank God for being born with four working limbs.

Even if there's a newer shinier version, I guarantee you there is a child whose parents would beg on their knees for this old model. You don't even have to look outside the nation this place was in.

Good gravy and those are the NORMAL rooms?!?!

Just reading the comments here is an educational experience.
