I don't like the look of that pink wall insulation in that panel either. Violations, where do you begin?

I think the arson charges might prevent you from getting that job...

Arson isn't necessary. This is, what you might call, a "Self - Starter".

There are TWO good things you can say about this; 1) The photos are good quality, and 2) This place isn't on fire...YET. Actually three - the photographer escaped without injury.

This "wiring" job kinda mimics those weeds (or whatever they are) in the second photo...just kinda growing out in all directions.

Cut the service at the pole, pull everything out and do over by a real Electrician.

I wish I could get the re-wire job. The bad part is the H O that did this was proud of his work. I only hope that their are no small children or elderly in this house.


when in doubt jump it out

This almost looks like a temporary lash up, to get the lights on for a couple of days. And that one would just need to disconnect everything and run the wires in this basement in a neat and orderly fashion. But if he's calling this a completed job, that would cast serious doubt on the quality of the wiring in the rest of the house.

That looks like an awesome job. I love seeing this kind of crap because it's what keeps me working. IMO, there's not enough of this work to go around, or at least not enough people paying to have these issues corrected.
