Weapons-Grade Incompetence

I've been intending to sort out a dodgy bit of diagonally-routed wiring in the house for at least a couple of years, but never managed to find a suitable combination of time and motivation until today.
As I chiselled out the badly routed wire, I found the workmanship was so much worse than I had expected - these two cables had been roughly joined by twisting them together, with a token few wraps of tape over the top, then the whole mess was cemented into the wall.
I'm very lucky the house didn't end up burning down from this sort of bodge.

I thought I'd channel the fire risk with the lighting on this shot before knuckling down and fixing the disaster.
