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.
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.

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.

Don’t abuse your caulk folks.
