Well the ground PIN may be facing the right way, but it realy doesnt matter if there is NO GROUND WIRE.
At least it is a GFCI. DUH!
Maybe evolution will take him out of the gene pool.

You know, what this site needs is an "Academy awards" thing every year, with winners in categories such as:
"Worst Hack Job"
"Most Original Hack Job"
"Greatest number of violations within 12""
"Silliest way to do something" ,and,
"Who needs the right tools?"

Was this hack work intended to be permanent? Looks quite temporary to me. Also quite bad. Not a great idea to have that light bulb right up against the paper backing of the insulation. Only make for a temporary fire.....

...I think I'm being crude when I put in a temporary outlet and I don't put a cover on it....in my own house only accessible by me. Reminds me of an extension cord my father made using a lamp cord, outlet, and a bunch of electrical tape; no box. I think he was trying to get rid of me

He should have ground bonded that 2x4 the outlet is on. ![[Linked Image]](https://www.electrical-contractor.net/ubb/smile.gif) You gotta give people credit for saving money on materials, though. Not using a box saved him a few cents, although it would be enough to get this guy out of business if this thing burns up.

Oh la la ! ! !
That a worry, conduit wire in no conduit.
Lamp with red tape, twisted ??? wires, who knows.
Lamp is old or has been very hot, darkened bulb.
A fire waiting to happen here. Lamp very close to building paper.
The product of rotation, excitation and flux produces electricty.

Rodalco- I do believe those are two red wirenuts, not just red tape over twisting, of course that doesn't make it any better and it's still a horrible job, and I can only hope that this is a temporary job, maybe one that got forgotten about?

Temporary or not, I don't care. There are even written standards for temporary work. And it is fortunately a LOT higher than this rubbish!. ![[Linked Image]](https://www.electrical-contractor.net/ubb/frown.gif)
