    How much wire can YOU stuff into a 4x4 box?
    We've been doing so much,for so long,with so little, that now we can do almost anything, with nothing at all.

    Could be worse. At least it's IN a box.

    This should be on the wall of pride, it must take some real skills to get all those wires to fit in one box....Right?

    Not sure...

    Found this last week while doing a bid for a complete changeout (which I got)...

    House 30 y/o, current owner only there 2-3 yrs, not aware...

    The plug-in transformer for the alarm system is also in the attic. It's been "hard-wired" by twisting the conductors from some speaker wire through the little holes in the spades. Without tape.

    Is that 2 seperate j-boxes or are they make shift panel boxes?

    All connected to outlets? or 30 switches for one light fixture so you could turn it on from anywhere in the room without moving a foot?

    What was the amp draw?

    it's easy getting that many wires in a box. the trick is getting the cover on. wonder if it's wire nuts or twisted and taped ?
