| New guts for network box |
Our connection to the Internet died a couple of days ago. The box hasn't been touched since Verizon ran fiber optic cable to all the houses in our neighborhood 15 years ago. Technicians came and replaced the guts in the connection box. We used to have a coax running from this box to the router in the basement, now it's just regular old twisted-pair phone line.
We have this photo because when I was putting out the trash last night I noticed the box was hanging open. Closing it up was a bit of a chore. The box is warped, so closing it up tight requires torquing it back into shape and then holding the lid in place while you put the retaining screw in. If you don't have it all the way closed, the screw will just snag on the plastic and as soon as you turn your back it will pop open. At least I think that is what happened.
