I have a 14 cubic inch single gang box with 5 2/12 romex in it... wtf.

I have a three way switch where each box only has travvelers and common. Line and nuetral only exist in the light fixtures box.

I have multile boxes with only 3 inches of wire.

I have found many backstabs with 1/4 inch of copper showing

I have found 3 switches with the screw terminals basically finger tight.

I'm surprised it hasn't all burnt down.

Wtf.

In home assistant news, my new ethernet Zwave by tubezb is AWESOME!
