Went back to a house I wired in 2019 and the homeowner showed me the 'before' photo
Honestly I forgot how bad some of these old drops look. This house in Phoenix had coax stapled along the baseboards and one line literally taped to the window frame. I spent 4 hours there yesterday rerunning everything through the crawlspace. The compare shot looked like two different houses. Anyone else ever get a call back years later and feel embarrassed for the previous guy even though it wasn't your mess?

Oh man, the stuff people did before we got in there is wild. I had a call back to a house I did in 2017 and the homeowner showed me a photo of the old setup where they had extension cords running through a vent in the ceiling to power a TV. They literally cut a hole in the ductwork to feed the cord through. It's like, who thought that was okay? Makes me appreciate being able to clean all that up even if it takes half a day.

Wait, did they at least use a proper junction box where the cord went through the vent, or was it just dangling there like a death trap waiting to happen?
