allseason Posted April 26, 2011 Report Posted April 26, 2011 Home runs for something to be installed later? Recessed lights or the like, maybe.
gtblum Posted April 26, 2011 Report Posted April 26, 2011 Who the hell's ever going to bother looking in there?
John Kogel Posted April 26, 2011 Report Posted April 26, 2011 That's a lot of lighting for an attic. [:-party]

emalernee Posted April 27, 2011 Report Posted April 27, 2011 Could they have been planning some type of low voltage or remote control system that would have put a receiver to each light and outlet, controlled by a central computer? I have visited some Homes of Tomorrow that had everything wired through computers, but never got to see behind the scenes how things were wired.
Richard Moore Posted April 27, 2011 Report Posted April 27, 2011 Accommodations for a future grow-op? Marc That thought crossed my mind too, but it's hard to imagine druggies being that neat or bothering with J-box cover plates. Phillip seems to find the weirdest stuff. I sometimes think that people do things like this just to mess with his head!
Jim Baird Posted April 27, 2011 Report Posted April 27, 2011 They were using pieces of wire not long enough, so they spliced them in tose boxes.
John Kogel Posted April 27, 2011 Report Posted April 27, 2011 They were using pieces of wire not long enough, so they spliced them in those boxes. That's a possibility. The house, built in '06, could have been a victim of wire theft.
Phillip Posted April 27, 2011 Author Report Posted April 27, 2011 I believe if it was wire theft there would be boxes where the wires when down the wall. I have seen this set up before in the same subdivison.

Nolan Kienitz Posted April 28, 2011 Report Posted April 28, 2011 Sry ... dang bi-focals and my eye-site just don't cooperate some days. [:-yuck]
