I finally got around to putting in the pot lights for the basement last night.
I have a little bit of wiring to clean up, cable staple some of those lines down and make it look neat and tidy and find a cap plate for that old junction box and it'll be ready for the drop ceiling.
In that junction box i found some very old, very messing wiring along with a line that went to nowhere that was live and electrical taped off on the end. Once I took it out i looked at it and all it would have taken is a bump the wrong way for it to short out and start a fire. Good thing I pulled it all out.
This house has proven to be a wiring nightmare. When I started the reno's the house was on all of 5 breakers, now the panel is full and I could really use another side panel for more lines.
Doing things properly is the way to go.
