Description
Unfinished switch box at the garage entry door area. A blue plastic (Carlon) single-gang electrical box is mounted on a stud near the entry door with unterminated wires hanging out — black and white conductors are visible. Three garage door opener wall-mount buttons are visible above the box. SLS Electric was unable to finish this box because they did not have a light switch on hand. They indicated they will wire it up during the electrical inspection visit, which may be as soon as Thursday, April 3 (the inspector only does Tuesday/Thursday visits). OSB sheathing is visible behind the installation.
