Great photo! Boy you could really make a list of all that is not safe with that photo.


Just posing this question quickly. How would you write it up?

I would as..."Recommend Licenced Electrical Contractor evaluate service on entire house due to unsafe/outdated wiring practices"

I have worked on homes with knob and tube wiring and when changing a light fixture or outlet have found both wires in the box were black even though one wire is hot and the other is neutral.


I wondered how the average joe homeowner would figure out which is which. I figured it out with a voltmeter.
