I’m no expert and I’ve trunk slammed many a times before I found this site. Still learning and working to improve my skills.

Well on top of the network problems, what's with the surface mounted PVC electrical box, dimmer switch, and romex hanging out of it? The network cables just blend in with that stuff.
Was done long before I started attending that church, likely done by a well-meaning member for FREE.
True, but it still doesn't excuse their sloppiness. Personally, I never have and never will gauge what I do based on what someone before me has done...unless I intend to improve upon it.

Yeah. those are pretty bad. Now my question is: In the first picture of you holding the abomination of a attempted crimp onto a RJ-45, what part of your body are you holding that cable with? Inquiring minds would like to know.....
It's a wrinkled, arthritic, 73 year old hand with little feeling holding it the best it can......
You very well could be the only one.....Inquiring minds would like to know.....

My OCD would have kicked in and I'd be ripping shit out and redoing all of it.Was done long before I started attending that church, likely done by a well-meaning member for FREE.

^^^^ That always leads to being in the swamp up to your chin in a$$holes and alligators trying to remember that you were there to drain the swamp 
Been there, done that, once too often.

Once upon a time, many years ago, in a land far far away lived a bright-eyed young man named...yep, you guessed it....TonyR.
He had a strong back, a sharp mind, money in his wallet, time on his hands...
(we could go on forever, it seems...he had hair on his head, feeling in his fingers, blah, blah, yada, yada...... you got the picture)
But the one thing the young TonyR also had was.....a long and never ending honey-do list.
That simple fact decides what he volunteers for and what he does for free.
Not trying to be stingy, self-involved or a tightwad but y'all know this fact.....happy wife, happy life.

At times, I wish I still had control over my volunteer and free time.
I doubt that any one person did this. I see this as a little-at-a-time, work in progress....each person decides he ain't gonna clean that #$%& up and so....it grows....like a cancer. I've quoted fairly and reasonably to clean places like that up and half the time they'd turn me down so in one respect, the owner has some responsibility for such a mess.
It's too bad though that oftentimes not only is an installer content with this....so is the owner.

Whelps, given he has some of the basic's in place like two separate outlets don't know if they are 20 amps and on opposite breakers. And the hardware is in an enclosed (secure?) place / location.

I looked at the pic three times before I realized there is some sort of rack in there.

About as long as that one, long screw will remain in the metal above them on the left!
