Bought a house with many questionable electrical additions by previous owner
Post Body
Current favourite: had to replace the lightbulb under the stairs and the one I bought didn't work. Then the second one didn't work. Finally ripped the wiring apart and found a janky junction box. Measured the voltages
L to N: 110V
N to Earth: 60V
L to Earth: 230V
Wtf. No idea what is going on.
Luckily the wire just leads to a plug not part of the house wiring so I'll just rip it all out.
Any stories of crazy inherited DIY projects?
