I’ve worked on jobs out west with all-illegal electrical subs.

They would never do this shit.

This is afghani engineering at it’s best.

It will work fine until they try to sell the house.
If the buyer hires an inspector, he will not pass that.

I think it’s more of someone’s idea for a joke.

No one is that stupid and home running across the property, along a fence, with 4 or 5 splices into a light socket, controlled by a switch is funny as hell.

Any moron would see it for how unreliable it is and the fire hazard.

Aw heck, that is "up to code" in Mexico.

The one time I stayed at a place in Manzanillo, the wiring that was visible (most of it was) was insane. And that was a "resort".

Can only imagine what people had in their houses.

Well, I saved us a lot of money in electricity charges today, George ?

Really ?

Yeah ..., I shortened the cord on the vacumn cleaner.
