Home Inspection Nightmares XII

Please Keep Dr. Phil Out of Your Bathtub

I came across this interesting configuration during a recent home inspection: a TV installed just above a jetted tub. The TV did not have a remote, so I envisioned the homeowner standing in the water and surfing the channels. I advised the owner of the potential electrical shock hazard, but he saw no problem with the TV in the tub and planned to continue enjoying Dr. Phil while bathing.
