Hi Jeff
Pic#1
Way to close to nailing surface for drywall unless you
install a no-nailing plate.....but most sparkys I know
will go up through the plates and come down through
to the other wall.
Pic#2
A standard recpt. installation device/hanger should have been installed between the ceiling joists with a deeper box and more wire.But..... I also see this all the time...this by any chance wouldn't be in the Hideout
would it!!!!?????

The first pic need a nail plate…not sure why the foam fill though…could be a local code thing…
The second pic...wire way too short, no ground screw, only 2 screws of unknown length on this pancake supporting it...might be used for paddle fan making this too weak...Cannot tell if that is a grommet where the wire comes thru the box or puddy...

I always thought it was curious that the IRC allows drilling within 5/8" of a stud edge, but there is no mention of protecting wires or that the electrical section/code would require protection plates for anything less than 1-1/4" edge distance …

I agree with everything stated, but have one question about the foam.
I am sure some people put the foam to prevent fire from traveling through, but I recently saw a little demonstration of how flammable some of such foams are. Could that be a problem?
