The house in question has one 10 amp fuse for every outlet in the house, one ten amp fuse for all the lights, and then the oven does not have a breaker of its own, it's just somehow connected into the "entire house" breaker.
It's about a 450 sqft house built in the 40s on a lake 2 hours from the nearest place you could call a village or town. There is no way to get internet or a phone signal there, and I'm shocked it even has electricity. It was cool to visit for a few weeks but I would never live there. Insane motherfuckers out there.
They're not, they're in a, and you're going to hate this, breaker box that is outside of the building next to the water hookups and the garden hose spigot. There's a ground level grate next to the house that you pick up to go into a little vertical coffin sized dug out area with the water shut-off for the building and the breaker box is just above that grate at ground level.
I live in the apartment with the mystery light switch that kills WiFi. I've done some home lab radio nerdery with a software defined radio and determined that there is something in the wall about at ceiling level directly above the lightswitch that emits a very strong 2.4 GHz signal. Like, so strong that I should call Industry Canada instead of the landlord.
I've been here six months and the walls and ceiling are now bleeding brown ooze.
Having said that, all of these places (other than the shack with the sketchy wiring which I was just visiting a family member in), including this apartment which I've dubbed The Radio Zone, have been considered luxury rentals. It's fucked up that like even higher end stuff is like this. There are a handful of buildings in Toronto that I almost refuse to even visit friends at because they have such a sketchy rep, like the ICE Condo building which has false fire alarms going off all the time, and it's become just a hellscape of AirBNB morons.
