John Dirks Jr Posted March 16, 2013 Report Share Posted March 16, 2013 Three prong receptacles installed throughout the 1944 row home with original un-grounded cables, then this; Drywall screws into drywall to install receptacles over excessively recessed boxes. I pull my tester out and the receptacle comes with it. Click to Enlarge 27.23 KB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Kogel Posted March 17, 2013 Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 Good catch, John. Lucky it revealed itself to you so readily. As you know, there is a knock-out box designed for holes like that, so it won't break anyone's heart to fix that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hausdok Posted March 17, 2013 Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 Now that you've damaged that one receptacle the seller is going to blame it all on you and will expect you to pay to have every receptacle in the house brought up to code. ONE TEAM - ONE FIGHT!!! Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ONE TEAM - ONE FIGHT!!! Mike Wouldn't that be a hoot. I'd be laughing anyway. The buyer tried to push it back in. I told them to just let it hang. The rest is history as far as I'm concerned.
