The next shot is of a PC closet light. This is exactly how it was...pulling down a little further every time she yanked on it. I call this one "The Firestarter".

The next shot is a laundry/freezer receptacle that was split-wired for the two 20-amp dedicated circuits. The breakers weren't handle-tied, and the outlet isn't 20-amp, violations of Articles 210.7(C) and 210.21(B)(1).

The last three shots are of the living room receptacle. The first one shows that it was fed by UF NM wiring with no connectors. This may be some original post-WWII NM circa 1945. The second shot shows a behind-the-wall shot with the outlet removed. The last shot shows how this receptacle was fed from a plug. It was plugged in prior to this shot being taken. Another outlet in the attic was fed from this mess.
