Just finished wiring my new outlet. This is my first attempt at wiring but I think it turned out ok. I think I have everything labeled properly. How'd I do?

I think you missed a label on the blue wire that is under the blue pair behind the white wires. Other than that, looks good.

Looks like you have a snake infestation. Also love the asbestos warning on the pipe. Do not walk. Run!

I just sent the photo to Ripley. He sent a note back. He said he didn't believe it.

i think there's room for at least one more run in that box....maybe 10 gauge wire? It looks like the box was added to another box immediately above it.

A friend sent this in an email along with the traditional photos of the lawn mower tied on the car and one of a car hauling pvc lattice driving while looking through the holes.

I sure don't want this guy anywhere near my house and those paper labels are a little scary.

Looks like you have one Red wire left over!

I noticed that one red wire capped. That's for an additional box in the future.

Want to bet that was the work of someone who posted a thread titled "Need help Wiring my Workshop" on an unidentified woodworking forum?

It's a good thing everything around it is asbestos, as that's a fire waiting to happen
