Wiring Example

I haven't taken many photos of the before and after electrical work, as compared to the before, there's really not much to see in the after state. Here's a little example of the work done though. Apart from the junction box hell, there was also dangerous work done in the walls. Here's the work I completed on the light switches in the basement living room.

Wiring that defies reason.

Close up. Yes, that wire was live.

After (almost).

I still need to run romex to the new lights (which will replace the two white romex lines on the left side in the picture, but at least I don't have to worry about the extreme fire hazard in my wall. I'm really surprised that cut wire shown above didn't cause issues. It's like they cut it back for whatever reason and forgot to disconnect it in the box later on. Who knows?
