I might be bringing the wiring up to code and date.

Wizzie: If that's the case, it looks like you have quite a bit of work to do here .

I haven't had to go shopping for "handy boxes" for a while. Those boxes in the pix seem wider than what I'm used to seeing. is that a local Canadian manufacture, or are all handy boxes being made larger now?

those are the standard size Iberville, T&B boxes in canada.

Our handi-boxes are slightly narrower. Might have to bring some of those down from Canada next time I'm up north.

In pic 4, is that a 15A switch carrying 240, or is the outlet only supplying 120? looks like a 220 to me

I have no idea whats going on in those boxes Hemingray, but i think the 220 recept is for A/C I wouldn,t think it is switched. wouldn't this be in violation of voltage seperation.

oh in the fourth pic the double gang box is so full there is a half inch gap between the cover and the box.

I'll bet money on that switch carrying 240v or so for that outlet. (or the outlet only supplying 120v) I don't see any other EMT or wiring runs to that outlet other than from that switchbox below.

Of course, the outlet is a 6-15..
