You know that this was done after rough inspection. so how would the inspector even see this at final w/out pulling cover plates? I personally don't have time or maybe it's time to tell the EC's to leave them off to check for proper gropunding of switches and recepts anyway.
NOTE: that if this was done w/permit it should have been a licensed EC.

Brian,
We should also thank the jurisdictions that don't give any time to their inspectors, and hire carpenters to inspect electrical work.

Okay I see the box now. Yeah I must agree, at least the recept isn't a 35cent backstab special. Box fill? This box is full!

You all assume the EC did this...I guess I'd be more likely to figure it was the "handyman" who got tired of tentants complaining of drafts around the recep's and figure he just fix the problem...them $0.04 foam gaskets are just too expensive.

one of the best things about an all pipe install is that new circuits can be pulled in easily and old wires can be replaced without tearing up walls, and it'd probably take half an hour to dig all this foam out of the box/conduit at each location without damaging the wires

Joey-
about the box with the fridge/bedroom recepticals, is there a box that comes open on each end to allow this kind of thing? the only way I could think of doing something like that is bolting two bog extensions together...
