    I am thinking it may be some sort of conduit pipe running power to the box. It appears to enter the box between the two top outlets

    You're all wrong. It's clearly a black licorice rope that the owner set down for a second to take the photo.

    Looks like the trailer my next door neighbor had, minus the wood.
    He finally moved out. I don't know how the landlord got rid of the
    thing. It was NOT road worthy. Good news it's been a few months
    and he can't find a tenant. Maybe he'll sell it and a real home owner
    will move in.

    I found a discussion on Reddit about that junction box under the car which includes a high-resolution pic.

    Apparently it is common in cold climates to have such a set-up for various 110V heaters (engine block/oil pan, transmission, fuel/fuel tank, battery blanket, etc.).

    https://www.reddit.com/r/Justrolledintotheshop/comments/ygm0ve/ive_never_seen_a_car_that_failed_a_home/

    The rubber hose over the driveshaft is going to the oil pan. If you look closely on a big screen, you can see a slit in the hose where the upper-right cord comes out and you can even see the end of the hose butting up against the rusty cover plate on the junction box.

    Wait a minute, I just remembered I haven't liked black licorice since a horrible introduction to Sambuca.

    This thread is great again.

    Sambuca... yeah I partially remember a bad experience with sambuca in the UK quite a few years back when I - briefly & tumultuously - worked for an Oxford-spawned tech company. Those were very strange days, not in a good way. :#

    Looks to be a model home. The driveway will be corrected when the builder closes out and offers the home for sale.

    Yes, the home will be reoriented 90° to match the concrete. That swale will flow nicely under the gap formed with the house wall bearing on the curb.

    Ah, no way. Nice one, Doc!
    Do you have that record? That seems like good stuff for vinyl seeshones.

    I thought you might already have been watching it - "blind squirrel" came up in ep1, and I went, no way, that's what Rob just said!

    Note: not a show for kids.

    John D. Loudermilk was the real deal; wrote some pretty well-known songs.
    Tobacco Road, though, of course, was made famous by the Blues Magoos.
    ahh, those were the days...
