I would keep the romex or how ever the wires fed in outlet box then remove outlet and cap wires like shown inside box and then install a solid cover plate over boxGonna cap off an outlet I don’t want for now later td
I would too but it’s somewhere very inconvenient to do so. Plus it’s not like anyone else cared or tried to do anything right previously lol. Bitd around these parts, building codes were lax, inspections non existent, etc. It’s hilarious.I would keep the romex or how ever the wires fed in outlet box then remove outlet and cap wires like shown inside box and then install a solid cover plate over box
Measure onceJust cap it and electrical tape it if you're really worried
A ton. Because most people either aren't discerning, are afraid to speak up, or just flipping the place.was curious how they’d cover up the botched install without ripping it out.
wonder how many peeps they’ve pulled this on but wasn’t addressed.
Thats insane but Im not surprise and is a big reason why I’m doing it myself along with having mad skills and HAVING THE FREE TIME.We've had 6 contractors in the house over the past 5 years.
4 of those contractors have either done things blatantly incorrectly or attempted to skip out on finish work.
I assume this is other electrical issue right then oulet mentioned above? Some times easier to start over and romex makes it easier to run wire from light to wall could feed in same consuit box if you dont want to make new hole(s) or cut switches and cap like video inside box and use cover plate over box like mentionedI would too but it’s somewhere very inconvenient to do so.

How many things are wrong in this picture?

All of them. I’m the laziest dude in the world and I wouldn’t have made this mess. The breaker box will need a pro. Im still not sure if these switches have a breaker lol.
Im actually now thinking about running it up to the ceiling above with a switch along the way for a light fixture.
Why waste electricity?
My friend is a finish carpenter and handyman. He only takes on smaller jobs that take less than a few days (cabinet refinishing, flooring, cabinet installs). He does incredible work and is very precise. Also shows up on time and finishes everything to spec.4 of those contractors have either done things blatantly incorrectly or attempted to skip out on finish work.
I'm sure there's a few exceptions, but great contractors don't advertise. There is absolutely no need to. The work comes to them.Told me that he has so much work coming in that he has to turn down some jobs because of all the recommendations he gets. Apparently finding a reliable person is hard to do.
That outlets functions but I gets so mad whenever I find a rats nest in the box. And whoever the painter was…I assume this is other electrical issue right then oulet mentioned above?

Looks like exterior right? Remove any lose plaster around hole and on wall. Cut plaster fiberglass cloth 1/4" bigger then hole x 2 and run the weave both directions when you stick to wall. Then cover thin even layer over cloth and allow to dry 24 hours or complete dry. Next cover all the area with plaster make sure to even out "less sanding" with putty knife. Also fill in those cracks on wall with plaster as well to help seal.Anyone have any plaster repair tips? This just got added to my weekend to-do list.

Maybe Jimmy was like oh I have that problem all the time lolLook a little closer.
Only difference is using plaster exterior or joint compound interior to fix and joint compound is easier to work with. After final coat you can wet paper towells and softly smooth out with wet towell to save sand time.Look a little closer.
