you're probably right mdrew. My guess is that the other person didn't have the axiom boards to consult.

We have the old school screw-in fuse boxes too. Yea, the only reason the fuses are there is to protect the wiring and circuits from getting overloaded and causing a fire.
I'm actually surprised I haven't blown a fuse in my room...the ground pin doesn't even work in my room either.
Oh well.

Forget about it. Just put a quarter in the fuse holder. Problem solved. . . . . . . Kidding, of course!

Putting light bulbs in the fuse holders might help you find the fuse box in case of a power outage. Oh, wait.

If it was my house, I would have it rewired with proper grounded outlets (and more of them) and additional circuits in a heartbeat. However... it's a rental and my landlord doesn't care. Thanks for the advice, everyone! The 20 amp is going back in, naturally.
