Default Finished basement electrical disaster
Possibly the worst home wiring I have encountered over the past 6 years. Amazing!

That's pretty much the standard in the rural parts of my state with no building codes, licensed contractors or AHJ inspections.

These photos comes from a commercial establishment on the town square a block from a city hall in an area that...believe it or not...has adopted the 2005 NEC. BTW, I didn't remove the dead front. It didn't have one...and it is next to the sink in the public rest room.

Times are tough and DYI's are getting very brave these days with doing their own renovations and electrical repairs. Thanks HGTV!

I agree that doesn't look like UL approved electrical tape.
