Odd find

[Greg Fretwell]

I suppose that is why the buyers are paying you. When people are buying a house they have so many things on their mind they can be blind to things that should seem obvious. A good salesman is supposed to be showing you things you love and hoping you don't notice the bad things.

So far no violation noted except what we all already knew either the sparky was an a bulb short or this was done by "Handy Dan/Donna the Homeowner" or one of their friends or relatives, like good ol' Uncle 3Fingers

I'm surprised there has not been more input but had to chuckle at the references to the lack of bulbs from the sparky who did it.

I still think it would make a good addition to the codes to specify that switch controlled outlets (except exterior outlets) be controlled by the switch only in the same room. This could prevent inadvertent activation of an outlet when someone is not expecting it.
