Outlet in kitchen by Microwave, finished pictures

I had the job done hours ago, the Photo Bucket ordeal was worse than the job!!!!
The first picture is our sweet neighbor Pat. She has made us feel welcome here, gave us potting soil, included us in activities and hobbies, a great friend.
Second picture is before, then old outlet, old outlet wiring, the receptacle is incredibly cheap, poorly constructed. The next is new 20 amp duplex receptacle, wire extended out hole, and then the finished job.

Ozz - nice add!

Boy I agree on the installed electrical - I know it's a trailer but the original switch and outlet boxes are pretty cheesey. The push in connections look like a source for trouble. Guess I don't blame Keystone, as it's probably a universal installation by all manufactureres.

You guys make me blush, thanks.
And Michael, you have done many things to improve yours as well, I am impressed.
Folks, Michael and his sweet bride Kathy, Sue and I, met for a super Italian lunch yesterday, at the London Bridge, here in Lake Havasu City. Great couple, we laughed and conversed like we have known each other for years.
It was also super food, like I told Michael, I went home and grabbed a nap after that.
We saw a T-shirt in a shop there that said; "The trouble with Italian food, is that after a few days, you are hungry again" I had a killer Calzone.
I'm looking forward to meeting as many of you characters as possible.

Wonder why Keystone does not wire these things so they electical load can be more evenly divided. When chilly, we are always blowing the kitchen circuit breaker by trying to run a heater and the coffee pot.

Don't know, but that is exactly why I did the job today.
Darn Bean Counters, I would imagine.

Very nice job OZZ!
I got to get Don to do some of your improvments. He is going to wire our fireplace on it's own circuit.

Thanks.
That will be a good Mod.
It's too bad we have to do all these improvements ourselves.

Great!
Glad you are solving one of the many problems we encounter, for Beth, maybe she will cook that pot roast and mashed taters you have been wanting for a reward................

Great Idea Ozz. I think I will do the same. It is nice to have another plug in the kitchen area and we don't use the microwave that often so that plug is a real super idea.
