As a software developer and sometimes home electrician, I am so glad that house wiring doesn't support git blame, but it would be nice to know who not to hire because the work in my house when I purchased it was appalling
Nice. You would probably shake your head at me because I still haven't fixed an issue w/ a receptical. Basically, the screw for the outlet box is completely stripped, so I couldn't actually attach the faceplate. Nothing bad has happened yet, but there are a few exposed wires.
Maybe I should go get the dremel out and fix it...
Just use a couple dabs of hot glue, or blue tack.
Duct tape?
That'd probably be fine, you could make it look nice and trim or just slap it on there.
I bought a house last year and one of the switch boxes was filled with caulk to hold the switches in place. I've seen a lot of caulk abuse over the years but never anything like that.
Don't abuse your caulk folks.
