Just When I Think I've Seen it All,someone sets the limbo bar Jumper MY Circuit expanderon creative and innovative ways of doing things to an alltime low. Need extra outlets in your room addition? Why bother with the hassle of having meddlesome codes inspectors or the expense of an electrician to do things right when you can do things the half-fast way and save a bundle with the handy-dandy "Jumper MY Circuit" expander.
     Run as many extra outlets as you feel you need and plug one end of the "Jumper MY Circuit" expander in one outlet or is that inlet and the other end in the inlet or is that the outlet. Gosh, I'm really getting confused. And Voila!!! There you have it! Power where YOU want it when YOU need it.
    And you think you have it easy being a real estate agent...

I saw in one house where instead of running wiring through a conduit up in the attic, they just used an extension cord!

Michael, all kidding aside those things are extremely dangerous.  I only have found one of them and I got permission to cut both ends off of it.  When I was in art school I did a series of "conceptual art" pieces where various non-electrical things were made to look like they were wired and plugged into a receptacle.

Michael: Just when I think I've seen it all. It's call creative wiring that should have a big DANGER sign attached.

Congratulations on the feature.

Not sure if the person should be punished or hail for his great imagination. Either is still not a good practise.

Michael - I's just like to know what your face looked like when you discovered this - not sure if you smiled because it was so ridiculous or frowned in frustration. It's so bad, it's funny...in a bad way - lol!

Oh my, that reminds me of a sit-ye-a-tion I had with some of my renters once.  They decided to rip out a light fixture from the bathroom vanity then preceded to call the city inspector due to what was behind the whole.  Turns out a previous owner used an extension cord plugged into an outlet in the attic, cut off the end and hard wired the other end to the light fixture over the vanity.  And I got the write up!  Oh the joys of being a land lord.

Always scares me when I see someone use a jumper to get power on to a foreclosure that has had the power shut off. Until I know why the power was interupted it scares me to "fire" it up.

Michael - What do you say to your client when you see something like this? Do you laugh or cry?

I think electrical things are the easiest for a homeowner to mess up because even Walmart sells lots of cool electrical products that don't require a user manual. LOL

Howdy and evening Michael

Michael, folks sure do come up with some really off the wall ideas at times, on how to do things.

Have a good one

Hi Michael~ Didn't I see that on the home shopping network? If you ordered two for just $19.99, they would send you six for the same low price!

Astounding!
