I wasn't sure how he got there. That box is mounted on a floor joist.

Looks like he road the current.

An excellent picture to keep on file and show the realtor when he says you are making a big deal over a missing cover plate!!!!

You might also want to look for reversed polarity on that receptacle. He is on the neutral side.

[Darrell B. Hadler]

Not only that but no wire anchor where wiring enters box.

I called the Realtor over when I found this.

I wish I had a picture of her a she quickly covered her mouth and shrieked.


P.S. to Darrell and Greg.

Those concerns were noted. These were definitely home handy-man specials.

It does appear to be a very healthy mouse (prior to his demise), nice coat, pretty fat, so I imagine they are providing a good home.

Yes, I found other evidence of attempts at plugging possible entry routes in the foundation with expanding foam and rags.
