Consult electrician before closing of title. Mixing of copper and aluminum.

Besides the wrong mounting screw, I see branch circuit ground wires twisted together and jammed into the wrong terminal, plus the aluminum ground wire twisted around the grounding conductor but not clamped.

Call for Repair by a certified electrician.

Take your pick and apply any to your inspections if applicable, and when there are questions ask me and I will answer.

I will be lurking for a while, because I am on the road now for a few months and must keep focused, and avoid time any consuming discussions.

If any Chapter is holding a meeting, and I am in that town on that Monday or

Wednesday, let me know and I can stop in for free - just a beer will do.

See my schedule in my signature.
