I use to think the same way as you till I moved to our current farm. Electrical here scares the crap out of me. Few different things the prevoius owner. In the basement he had 2 wires joined by an outlet. No box or even tape just an outlet hanging in mid air. He didn't have a single box/cable connector on anything. Just a cable going in the sharp edges of the box and not even wire clips to hold it in place outside the box. Othere was a bare wire connection in barn. He twist connected wires ABOVE an electrical box. no marettes or tape. Bird built a nest on top of it and until we found that the lights would only stay on for an hour before the breaker would trip. Also found a nail driven straight through a wire. Just a complete disregard for safety and complete lack of common sense. I admit that I do stuff without permits and don't feel bad about it. I'm not paying $500 in permits for a $2000 job and then be told something else simply because they don't like it. It's just not worth the hassle. Around here there are people that are hired to follow lumber trucks around. Not so much here but a few municipalities beside us. They won't bother a person with a pick up truck but they'll follow a lumber truck and make sure that whoever is getting the load has permits for what their doing.

It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
