The place is a wreck, but all in time it'll come together.

What are the white wires doing in the switch boxes? Are they all connected together and nothing else with them?

I don't know what the hell any of ya'll are talkin about. The only thing I recognized as special was the one wire with the black screw. The house is one year old and it's a chinsy townhouse.

Re: HMT Electricians (boost, raffi, ???)
I don't know what any of that means, but the builders of this house suck *****. Everything is chinsed to hell.
Cold air coming through outlets, windows, and doors.
No insulation in interior walls. Only around the outside.
Hallow interior doors.
Shitty drywall and "paint"
Using a welder, radio, and lights in the garage usually pops a fuse. That popped fuse kills the whole garage and just the front living room (the one pictured). It's all on that one fuse.
When it rains hard, Minnesota acquires another lake under my sliding door and bedroom window.
So, if you're telling me something about what you see in the wiring makes my house cheap, I'm not surprised. I'm slowly fixing/upgrading everything to my liking. I'm not an electrician, so I may not do anything about that, unless I hire someone to add bigger breakers? in the main box.

Re: HMT Electricians (boost, raffi, ???)
This house was built by Wright Homes. They blow *****.
I have a lake at the end of my street, and on the other side of the lake is a farm. A builder just bought the whole farm and is building very large high dollar houses over there. They also have plans to make a path around the lake, and a bridge going accross the lake. Right after that is when Stealthmode cashes out and buys a real house on a lake with some shooting land.
