And even I know that the box is overfilled, but what gets me as well is trying to figure out his numbering system. I number based on breakers, and then use letters for light switch circuits, but all numbers to a circuit should match... it looks like he just put a bunch of numbers on wires since he was told to label stuff...lol...maybe he was listening to a car race that day...
You think that particular installer was concerned about securing within 12 inches?

I sort of had that approach for some time about them. I still don't like the multi-gang boxes and try to avoid them as much as possible, but single gang 18 cubic inch - is cheap at big box store, and not really much flimsier than any other plastic box, if you want a fairly rigid box (which is more critical with multi-gang) then you should be looking at fiberglass or other more expensive plastic boxes.
I live for today, I'm just a day behind.
