[cozidaniel]

I BOUGHT A RICHMND AMERICAN HOME A YEAR AGO AND WENT UP IN THE ATTIC TO FIND THE SPEAKER WIRES FORR MY HOUSE AND NOTICED 2 HANGING LIVE WIRES. ONE OF WHICH JOLTED ME. I HAD 5 APPOINTMENTS OF WHICH THEY ACTUALLY SHOWED UP. THE FIRS TIME THE ELECTRICIAN DIDN'T HAVE ANYTHING TO BE ABE TO DO WHAT I NEED TO. second TIME HE CAME HE STARTED TO PULL OUT BREAKES AND LEFT THE OPEN SO IF I RELLY WANTED TO I COULD STICK MY FINER IN IT AND GELT SHOCKED AGAIN. THE THIRD TIME THEY HAD FIRED HIM SO AGAIN NO CALL NO SHOW. HAD TH ELECTRICIAN OUT YESTERDAY AND HE LOOED AROUND FOUND THE WIRES IN THE ATTIC PLUS HE ALSO STUMBLED ACROSS ONE THAT WAS STUFFED INTO THE INSULATION. GREAT MY HOUSE COULD HAVE STARTED ON FIRE AT ANYTIME THAKS TO THE SUBS AT RICHMOND. HE CAME THIS MORNING CUT A WHOLE IN THE ATTIC LOW AND BEHOLD HE FOUND 5 MORE. 3 110'S AND 2 220'S WOW THAT'S GREAT.IN THE OUTSIDE OF THE HOUSE THERE WAS A WIRE IN THE STUCKO WHERE THEY USED TO HAVE THE SECOND A/C UNIT WIT 220 LIVE AGAIN. WHAT KIND OF LEGAL RAMIFICATIONS DO I HAVE AGAINST THIS BUILDER? IF ANYONE CAN HELP ME OUT HERE I WOULD GREATLYAPPRECIATE IT.

First, best not to post in CAPS - it's considered shouting.

It sounds like you might be able to sue the builder for the work you need to do to correct his negligence. Take pictures and video of everything. Do you have homeowner's insurance? This could be particularly expensive and you may need to have the entire house rewired. Documentation is key. You may want to speak to an attorney if this will be expensive and it sounds like it might...
