Next two pics: Two different clamps used on NM cable, but I can't tell which one is right/wrong.

Here's the other pic (nice razor-edged cover too.)

Nice support (or lack there of) on that NM.

This pic looks innocent, a plain keyed fixture with a CFL and thermostat transformer. But, it's suffered from the Bob Villa state of mind (as I heard on here), meaning "as longs as it's live, you can tap off of it." The NM on the left goes to a dishwasher in the kitchen, off this lighting circuit which serves the basement and dining/living rooms.

Here's where the cable goes up to the dishwasher, nice support! (Who wants to guess who installed this? Answer at the end of the post.)

Here's the panel, with one KO missing. The GFCI breaker serves a former outdoor receptacle, which is now in a porch.

Finally, an old phone jack:

Oh, and who installed the dishwasher? The same uncle/plumber that "installed" this light!

Is there anyone on board who knows how to fly a plane?
