This kind of stuff just blows my mind.
I can't believe someone would do this, and leave it!
Yes, this line is live.
Nope, I'm not messin' with it
Find someone else.
Nothing showing on the inside wall.They taped it. That makes it weather tight.
I actually thought they were bullet holes at first. Might be where the original drop came in.Are those old mounting holes in the vertical? Was something used to be there that was wired in?
Hard to tell for sure.I actually thought they were bullet holes at first. Might be where the original drop came in.
There's no way that makes it weather tight.They taped it. That makes it weather tight.
^^^ Yep, what he said.My guess, there used to be something there, like a light or floodlight.
And the power continued through to somewhere else.
The light was removed, but the other room still needed power.
That's just a guess.
See this a lot when I was in the mill and equipment had been upgraded.
New cabinet installed.
Shut the building down.
Wire the new panel up, thru the old panel.
Years later, start to have problems, with the old equipment that for some reason was never removed.
Or removed, but wires spliced like that.
Years ago we were remodeling a kitchen area in the basement of a new home. The lady that owned the place told us that a previous contractor had already ran plumbing to a wet bar on the other side of the room, but after she paid him, he never came back and hooked up the sink, and asked if we could do it.The things you see working in other people's homes.
I'm thinking GFGT meant to use purple for that comment.There's no way that makes it weather tight.
Obviously you know nothing about the electrical industry.
Please keep your comments focused on your field of expertise, whatever that may be, if any.
IF the connection is to be made weather tight, it needs something to shield the weather (rain & snow), like a shingle.
It's obvious that this repair was done professionally, since the duct tape used was NOT the DIY favorite "gray".
This weather tight repair was done with the only duct tape professionals use, the black version.
