    Unfortunately, I see that sort of stuff all the time, especially out in the country. I think they're so busy that they just fix things as quickly as possible. It probably explains why there are so many fires in rural areas.

    Several years ago, I helped my sister and bro-in-law redo their kitchen. We found some scary stuff for sure. But the worst was when we tore down the ceiling and the electrical that we found was feet worth of bare wire from varmints that had chewed the insulation off.
