Not Up To Code

Ok Bubba, I’m not a electrician but some how I don’t think this is safe. Bubba put the wires down, it looks like a spaghetti mess of wires.

   Bubba wants to know what the red and yellow ends mean? This could be bad!

   Greenfield connectors- have sharp edges and don’t secure romex.
   Box needs to be about 5 times bigger.
   No cover.
   No staples- wires are just drooping down everywhere.
   Not exactly a fire hazard, but is still an unprofessional mess.

   Okay this is definitely not up to NEC code. Box is too small, to many wires. There’s a limit to how many wires in a box depending on box size and how big the wiring gauge is. And this exceeds it. If I remember correctly for this box size it should be around 10 wires only. And no when i mean wires i mean individual wires not each romex strand. And according to code ground wires count as 1 wire, and each wire nut counts as one as well.
