It might be a good idea to twist the wires closkwise instead of counterclockwise as well...just in case they are considering putting wire nuts on
LOL, I hadn't ever thought about that fact before, we don't use wirenuts down here. [Linked Image]
The only guy I've ever seen twist the wires backwards (ie: CCW) was a left-handed guy I used to work with as an Apprentice.
It looked so awkward, the way he was using his pliers!. [Linked Image]

I think this pic is from Australia or New Zealand. I understand the water in the toilets there swirls backwards, too.
Careful now, mind you, you'd be hard pressed to find Black, White and bare wires in the same box down in this part of the world.
Oh yes and by the way, the toilet pans we have down here don't hold enough water to generate a swirling effect.
They are what are known as wash-down pans, saves water though and at this time of the year here, that's really handy. [Linked Image]

This is a picture I took during a Basement-Finishing project some years back. When I took the cover off the box at least one wirenut fell out. (That loose Black wire was with the others)

PS - most of the cables went to outlets the previous homeowner had installed, tapping off an existing P/C fixture no doubt. They were all removed and new circuits were run.
