My house almost burned down yesterday! 

This house has an extension off the south side that was done in the 70s and absolutely nothing about it is up to code. The wiring especially is so bad it's melted the plugs of space heaters before.

This outlet was the 1st drop in the kitchen. All the other outlets on that wall were daisy-chained off this outlet; that's why it almost caught fire. That backing plate must have been glowing bright red!!

Guess I'll be rewiring the kitchen sooner than planned...
