Default Electrical "issue" corrected
This is what it looks like when a real dumbass plays with electric. If you don't know WTF your doing, PAY SOMEONE that does...

Outlet wired from a junction just stuffed in the wall. Guess I should be glad they at least used wire nuts. 14/2 to 10/2




Wires were leaning on this.


Box reinstalled properly and outlet wired correctly. Yes I know it was upside down...


All done.

Hmmm there's an idea. Maybe I can find whoever did this and send him to work in the White House.

You cut the drywall backwards and had to install the back side out.
