| This plug box was half buried when the cabinet on the right was installed. With no way to access, install or cover the receptacle the wiring had to be removed and relocated. |
I noticed this at a public area. Broken weather proof covers and no sign of GFCI protection. Hopefully there was a GFCI Breaker providing protection |
Upgrading old Knob and Tube wiring is great, just don't forget to either remove the old wire or terminate it in a junction box. |

| Oops - looks like a noninsulated wire that was run inside the wall to a outside fixture. Make sure the integrity of the sheath is maintained. |
Two problems: 14/2 mixed with 12/2 and unbonded ground to the metal box. Never mix wire gages and always bond the ground wire together and to the metal box with a Ground Screw. |
Another Ground issue. The cable clamp in this box is not approved for bonding the ground and it is not necessary because the box is not metal. Always join the grounds. |

| This panel needed some attention especially because there were several ground wire that were cut off and not terminated to the ground bar. |
Illegal grounding method using the cover screw instead of using a ground screw in the pre-tapped hole. |
This is what happens when a back hoe pulls up the well pump conduit. Also notice the water PVC entering this control box which supplies the power. It is not entering through a provided knock-out. |

| This was really bad. Here we have two circuits of 12/2 ungrounded cables feeding a 220 volt 30 amp dryer receptacle AND a 120 volt circuit that is tapped on with the red wire to the dryer. |
