HELP PLEASE!

First and foremost, you need to obtain an electrical permit from your local taxing authority. The permit and inspection in my locale would run ~$250.
Then, and only then, can you shove more wires in that overstuffed ceiling box.

A permit to add lights in your own house. Are you mental?


If you follow the law, in my township you'd need an electric permit for 1 circuit at a cost of $110.

Upon completion of the work, you'd need a one circuit inspection at an additional charge of $125

...if you follow the law, LOL.

Here it is NOT the "taxing authority" - it is the ESA - the
"Electrical Safety Authority"

Who said it was the taxing authority? And whatever name it is, it's just another nosy / money making government scheme.

The money typically winds up in the same bucket. I guess Clare is one
of those people they have won over with permit fees, registration fees,
user fees, etc. instead of calling it a tax.
