In the spirit of Halloween (OK, maybe it’s because you guys just love terrible wiring jobs), we’ve rounded up seven more horrific (scary) wiring jobs.

These entries were sent in by some faithful CE pros who have come across their fair share of wiring nightmares.

We have more terrible jobs from cable guys and, sadly, from installers who just don’t care.

Make sure to check out our previous roundups of awful wiring jobs: 10 Ways Not to Wire Your System and 10 Wiring Messes Cleaned Up.

We’re always looking for horrific wiring jobs. If you come across one, snap a photo, write a short description and send to scrowe@ehpub.com
