Here's to you Mr. Why-Pay-For-An-Electrician-DIY-Handy-Man-Home-Owner! Why ask for help when you can "get 'er done" all on your lonesome with some wire nuts, speaker wire, and just about anything else you can find!? After all, in Vietnam you *were* an electrician (you worked on one part of one kind of plane, thus ensuring your ability to do all phases of home construction and residential electrical work). And who needs a cover. Nope, just let the air in: perhaps it will keep the wires cool. Here's to you! I LOVE the creativity of people! This is almost artistic! :-)

I just paid $436 to an electrician to replace two ballasts in a kitchen light fixture in my home. Took him about twenty minutes. The high prices licensed tradesmen charge cause us Vietnam vets to try to do it ourselves when we have time. We just have to know our limits.

The photo says it all! Why do you need to get home inspection? Look at the photo.
In fact ther are some guys (not electricians) who can do it right. But how do YOU know them?
A qualified or liscenced tradesman - contractor has been verified to an acceptable established standard. THAT's how you know.
Good post Justin,... subscribed, and suggested.

What am I looking at here Justin? This is a great picture to post, this would have lost something in a verbal description.
Thanks for the post.

Nice photo!
Reminds of when a few of us made our own car anti-theft devices. One of the guys rewired the car. None of the electrical devices were controlled by the original switches. Maybe this was his house.
