As Grant took his first step into the dark open room he heard a crumbling sound underneath his feet. He shined his light down to see the concrete floor turn into a gravel one. As he scanned around the room he made out a large tank in the middle of the room with pipes coming out of it leading up into the house.
“That’s nice to see.” He said as he recognized the large water heater. “Utility room.” He began to shine his light along the sides of the room but still no breaker box. It has to be in here. He thought to himself as he slowly made his way across the room.
The rocks of the floor made a crumbling noise with every step. He moved slowly through the dark as he stepped over an odd container and around the large toolbox that sat near the wall. He paused and shined his light along the wall behind the water heater. About halfway across the wall his light lit up a rectangular metal box. That has to be it. He thought to himself as he continued to slowly make his way across the room.
When he reached the box he traced it with the light until he found a clip. He reached up and undid it and the box popped opened. He swung the box the rest of the way open revealing two tall rows of switches.
