The old owner just had wood covered with a piece of plastic.

On studying the wire, I found two places where the plastic covering is broken.

I recently started to notice that one of my tenants was dumping the trash from her car (Newport cig. boxes, candy wrappers, plastics junk , Mcdonalds bags, etc.) in the same spot in the driveway of my 3 family.

I Use 9 in. paper and tape around top and bottom trim and plastic on the walls and floor to prevent overspray.

There was what looked like a 2 foot diameter plastic barrel in the ground which was the reservoir.

The over spray will find its way thru tape and plastics I promise you.

Hiring Benny, Guido, Lurch, and Associates who have wet-vacs and some used plastic in the back of their cars will only cause you heartache!

The plastic gets brittle and more and more parts will start to break.Are you responsible for replacing it, legally?

In these situations, the cable and box acts as the ground (in lieu of a dedicated ground wire seen in Romex and plastic boxes).

Latter is half price of first,,,BUT you better not have a plastic bag in there, nor ANY garbage or anything else on the prohibited list,,,,OR ELSE you get chewed and charged.
