Re: WHEW...
Wow. 4 screws ... were they through that wire? I can't tell but if they were... LOTTO!!!
Re: Creative AL to CU other side...
That is aluminum wire? to copper via the backstabbed receptacle. Damn... (sniff...)
I had found my place was ALL backstabbed and the neutrals would randomly pop out. Thus all new outlets put in, screwed down and taped.
Thanks for the picture share!

Sewer gas + Humidity + Electrical outlet -- NOT a good combination! | 
Wider view - Ahh, what a treat for the senses... | 
Power supply for overfill alarm | 
Buzzer for alarm - YEP, it was inside the tank also! |
 This tank has a submersible pump that sends liquids to the drain field once the tank has filled to a level that trips the float switch.
Code says that there must be an alarm that sounds in the event that the level in the tank rises too high. So the genius installers put an outlet inside the tank, plugged in the power-pack for the alarm and left the alarm buzzer tie-wrapped to the plumbing in the tank. Words fail me... |

That's a floor receptacle. It's a house that was built in the 70's. It was a party / vacation house in an affluent area.
The house is on slab and on a lake. Aluminum wire splices will go bad on their own without help. The moist under-floor environment, coupled with the improper copper spliced in certainly didn't help.
Floor receptacles always seem like a good idea, but they take a beating. Especially in carpet.

Looks like someone threw up in that exterior light fixture ("Anybody home?"). What the heck caused that?
