Hi there Greg, There are some people that should never be allowed near wiring, I think this guy may be one of them. The connections in that box in the first pic look rather dodgy. Does this fan unit have some sort of a wireless remote on it?.

.....ok, I have no comments here. even my amateur level wiring skills are better than this. least all my splices are in boxes and use wire nuts.

Creative, but very dangerous. It is hard to get those receivers to fit where they belong.

I once had to R&R a ceiling fan on an extremely-sloped ceiling. The angle of the ball on the rod prevented the remote receiver from fitting in the mounting bracket.
My solution was to place the receiver in the 3-gang box that the fan was fed from, behind the switches, using the 14-3 to connect the receiver wires to the fan wires.
Believe me, I had to re-dress that 3-gang box very carefully, like I normally do on new work. By the way, my brother and his wife were very happy with the results.

Hey Larry,
How many cubic inches does a remote control receiver count as? With 14-3 is it 2.0?

Commenting on the first pic: Looks like a guy who's "really good at hooking up speaker wire" (notice the very small seperation in each NM). Also, "The neutral carries no current; no need for a wire nut!" And finally; cable not secured within 8 in of the box. Extra points for using cable clamps and a box of sufficient size??

Why has he fitted a boat propeller up there? Is he expecting flooding? Where's the rudder? The whole set-up is a joke, surely!
