It's a bit like the "ashtray on a motorcycle" phenomenon, and may be a violation of 404.7 and perhaps 110.3(b).

Anyone's guess?

I don't think using a 3-way in place of a single pole constitutes much of a safety hazard, listing violations aside.

'66, I'm still wondering, who did the sheetrock? Please tell me it wasn't a professional!

And that old/new work box! That's an original! The ridiculous part is, a 2-gang new work box costs less than half of an old work.

Anyway, I still can't get over these pictures, and some of the nightmares you described! What crap!

CT, I really don't think that anyone on the entire crew could realistically be classified as "professional".



(Wait 'til you see my next group of pix...
The lawyer wants me to add a transfer switch to his brand new home that an inspector wired... Was there Saturday to look it over and get a materials list... You won't believe it! More tomorrow night in a new thread... Stay tuned!)

Concerning the switch: European manufacturers have stopped producing single pole switches years ago. So 3ways are the only available switches. Maybe it's a listing violation in the US, but it's definitely the norm in this part of the world.

That's because inspectors get the red sticker free, inspectors have to pay for the whie ones. See too many jobs like this
