Remember framers... cut boards not cords.
The garden hose wiring... pops chased me off his property as soon as he seen me taking pics of his workmanlike install.

Hope you enjoy let me know if I should post more.

Yes, they blew their budget on good wirenuts and couldnt afford j-boxes or staples. I almost got fired over this, but.. those R/Y nuts, if you use your lighter and flare the soft collar out a little and drive a 3" sheetrock screw thru the tip and cut a stick of 3/4 EMT in half, you have yourself a wicked cool blowgun. Good for many a extended lunchbreak.

Boxes like the second from the bottom always remind me of this refrigerator:

Unfortunately I had to deal with quite a few boxes of that kind myself. Some bad things are universal.
