The plumbing here was a WRECK. Cheapo guy used leftover bits and pieces to make a giant maze of shower plumbing. $Sibling ripped it out and put in new, well-done plumbing.

Our house was the same way. The previous owner's father was a master plumber, so you'd think it would be done properly, but NO. He knew all the tricks and shortcuts to save money and used his connections to get around inspections. Then he hid everything behind the drywall. Twenty-some years later, we're still finding issues!
Apparently he used the same logic for the electricity. When we first moved in, the light in our back room went out when we turned on the kitchen overhead ... and the kitchen light went out when we flipped the back light off.
The whole experience coined a new term. We have artisanship, good workmanship and poor workmanship. Below those comes Joemanship - so named after the fool who sold us the house!

Don't burn Bob.

Bob looks like he's totally comfortable! Heck, I'd do it myself if I could ... probably with the same results!

I have a cousin who swears she "went to college, but couldn't find a parking space." She never did finish that degree!

Oh my. That's atrocious.

We found out the electric panel isn't even organized here. Or labelled. It was fun.

We're currently (pun intended!) chasing wires, too. DB spent an entire day trying to figure out which wires in my hundred-year-old house connect to what and where and how. It's real challenge trying to reconfigure our solidly-packed circuit box so that it's safe and makes sense.
It's wonderful to have a real electrician in the family! Now, if someone would just marry a plumber ...
