So I felt compelled to respond to the assumption in your statement saying the only way forward for this individual is a highly paid Union Contractor. Certainly that is a solution, but I seriously doubt your hourly rate guesstimate. All that is really necessary, contrary to your band-aid approach is someone who is an Electrician to be tasked with the fix, not some dimwit calling themselves one. I don’t know the full extent of the bad installation, but it’s repair can be accomplished through a scaleable process.In the REAL World where People can't pay a Union Contr $250.00 a hr, this is what people do and it works just fine......... 10 yrs ago this would pass in a lot of the back roads of the USA..... and it still does to this day.......
so op you feelit's unsafe so get it fixed and 1500.00 $ or More >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> you will have power there just like you do now....
Peace Out
As for the passage where this exemplifies much of what passes for Electrical work in this country paints a picture of incompetence on a large scale, which I also doubt the veracity of.
Speaking to @Sparky75, if an true Electrician is located, and not just to accept because they’ve identified themselves as such, but to view any respective work they’ve done previously, requesting references are very appropriate. I hope that you ignore some of the suggestions presented and choose a solution that will allow you safely moving forward, utilizing this property for your habitation and any other intended purposes.
Good luck pursuing that resolution.
