The week I had to rewire a whole house because of a single bad splice

Found a junction box in a 1920s bungalow where someone used electrical tape instead of wire nuts, and the whole zone kept faulting. Took me three days to trace and replace every run from that point. Anyone run into something this messy in an old retrofit?

Classic case of old work coming back to haunt you.

Reminds me of a weird email I got last week, tyler_baker, from a job I left years ago.
