It's awesome that you did that :) I know it's one of those compliance issues, but it might be a good idea to have an electrician come out. Last thing a renter

I know it's one of those compliance issues, but it might be a good idea to have an electrician come out. Last thing a renter wants to see, is bodged together "fire badness".
I'm not saying yours is by any means! But sane-ness and law hardly go together :/
- lmilcin 9y agoYou would be correct (compliance, responsibility, etc.) but I also know for a fact that the guy guys (I won't call them electricians) that would come to fix stuff would not do better job. My kitchen was completely miswired since the building was built. The ground exchanged with neutral line. I tested the lines and put it back together as it should. There were many complaints from previous tenants but nobody was able to figure out and fix it -- seems so basic but nobody could do it.
- crankylinuxuser 9y agoIf I wouldn't know better, it sounds like we live at the same place! I get you - that your work is likely higher quality, and you could claim ignorance if anyone did have a complaint. But yeah, on Sunday, I redid some of our outlets and switches. We live in a trailer, and some of the switches were getting intermittent, and some outlets were loose to the point of turning off stuff if they jiggled. But.. I did find out that 1 outlet in the bathroom, the hallway lights, and 1 wall of the living room were on 1 gang... (sigh). I have my work cut out for me if I actually want to do it right.
