7 More Wiring Nightmares
Some faithful CE pros sent in more scary wiring jobs they've come across.
October 30, 2009 | by Steve Crowe

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

Huh? Door bells are self-contained. No phone service required. Or did you want the doorbell to page your phone or other mobile device. Anything is possible.  Please elaborate.

I am moving into a new condominium where I am told that in order for the door bell to work, I need a land line.  Does anyone know if VoIP will work instead of the land line?
