My old boss in Boise always told me 'never trust a wall plate you didn't install yourself'...

I was on a service call for a no-signal issue at a house built in the 90s. The wall plate looked fine, so I started checking the modem and lines. After an hour, I finally pulled that plate off... the coax connector behind it was just finger-tight and totally corroded. He was right, I should have checked it first. How much time do you guys usually waste on other people's old work?

That's just part of the job sometimes.

Not if you set clear rules.
