He stated above that he has breakers.

Are you seriously suggesting that his wiring situation is OK and
is not a fire waiting to happen? Granted, I cannot prove that in
court since I have never seen it in person, but anyone who is in
the business and reads what he has is reasonable in jumping to

should hire someone to come out and look at it rather than posting
on the Internet.
