Spaghetti and Snakes

Chuck C, back at #310: ...the "electrician" had used small Hills Brothers coffee cans. Instead of electrical tape or caps - clear packing tape... Needless to say, I didn't change the light fixtures

Yeah, just put the fixtures back up... and back away slowly, praying...

Reminds me of the other best electrical story from that 1910 building in Chicago.

When I first took over managing it, I opened up a long connector box in the basement. Spaghetti and snakes, tightly packed. Wiring nightmare. I closed the box and prayed I never had to deal with it. Although we did about everything else to the place, from furnace to roof, we never had to get into that.

I know this comment isn't quite on-topic with all the political wrangling. Consider it the comic relief moment amidst the screaming.
