Does this meet code?

[Aaron Wyssmann]

Ok, so I know that there is no way this meets code but I saw this in a possible investment home yesterday and I had to share. Just think, you could take a shower and plug in your hair dryer and then if the breaker happens to flip you could reach over and flip it back on...not a good idea!

Reminds me of @Nathan Brooks story he told on Podcast 87.  It's just crazy what people do.  You can read the story here...http://www.biggerpockets.com/renewsblog/2014/09/03/art-saying-house-literally-kill-somebody/

Sorry, you'll have to turn your head.  On my computer the image is vertical but after trying to load it several times it loads here on BP sideways.  

So if you've got some crazy pics of houses you've seen I'd love to see them as well.  Share them with me.

On the topic of the ungrounded wire in a 3 prong outlet, I've had to do that very thing.  I renovated a home and it was going to cost $1800 to run the correct ground through the place and there was no way I had that in the budget.  I installed GFCIs in the correct locations but of course there weren't grounded.  I had to run an extra loop off the neutral to make it work.  I know that's not correct and I wish I could have done it the correct way but just couldn't.

 Then you couldn't do the project.
