Description

Interior view showing unterminated Romex wiring left by SLS Electric near the entry door and light switch location. Multiple runs of NM-B cable hang from the wall cavity, not yet connected to switches or terminated in junction boxes. Red and white Romex cables are visible along with electrical boxes mounted on the framing. This wiring feeds the soffit lights and the interior convenience outlet that are part of the SLS scope.

Status Note

This wiring is part of the SLS Electric scope (one interior convenience outlet + one light switch + front soffit lights). The romex has been run but not terminated — completion expected when the electricians return to finish the service installation.
