Crows Nest is one of those places where you pull up to a job and immediately know you're dealing with old wiring. A lot of the homes in and around the main street heritage precinct were built before World War II, and some of them haven't had much done electrically since. When you open up a switchboard in one of those weatherboard cottages, you're often looking at ceramic fuses and cloth-covered wiring that's done well to last this long. It's not dangerous because people have been careless — it's just genuinely old.
The tricky bit with the heritage buildings is working around character features that can't be touched. You're routing cables through walls that took craftsmen weeks to build, trying not to leave a mark. Homeowners here take that seriously, and rightly so.
Out on the rural-residential blocks on the edges of town, it's a different story. People have sheds, workshops, small hobby setups, and the wiring often grew organically over decades — a bit added here, a bit added there. That patchwork approach catches plenty of owners off guard when they go to extend or renovate.
