    Homeowner before us did some DIY electrical work... its not the worst but it's definitely dangerous.

    Some wires have electrical tape around them where they were nicked, some are wrapped around plumbing (water lines), there's tons of slack, the breakers are labeled incorrectly, the load wire appears as neutral but isn't labeled as load, etc.

    Think we'll need to get an electrician to inspect this.

    When the big moon shines in the Maritimes,
    On the old Atlantic shore,
    I'll be glad to be back to old Halifax and the girl that I adore.

    Quite well, thank you for asking. Lee didn't hit us very hard, some downed electrical lines and trees but nothing compared to Fiona or Dorian. I think southern NS got hit harder but nothing too scary.

    This looks like half of city owned buildings I've been in. Their phones/internet are
    down. And this is what you'd see. Add a wasps nest or fire ants to the mix as well.
    Rats chewing cables also pretty common. The critters at the CSI unit ate cable
    like crazy. Be prepared to stomp stuff in the IT closet.

    Probably for a fence gate, that eventually got removed.
