Electrical House of Horrors, Part III

You may recall some of the electrical nightmares we dealt with in the Electrical House of Horrors, but if you need a quick refresher, you can find Part I here, and Part II here.

In final installment of this terrifying trilogy, we'll show you the mess of buried junction boxes that were connected to each other and a series of burnt wires — both of which — had they been left unattended to — would represent major fire hazards for our unsuspecting homeowners.

Needless to say, this home was a fire waiting to happen before our licensed electrician came to the rescue.
