Verify Ground Connection
Am I being paranoid
1) To call for a licensed professional electrician to "verify and/or correct ground wire connection" when the SE ground wire goes into the dirt beside the house but the connection to a rod(s) or ufer lead is not visible for my inspection. I don't think so. If it was me I would want to know for sure. There is always the possibility that the connection was there when code inspected but torn up or cut off when backfilling foundation, grading yard, or sod installed.
2) Call for an electrician to check the installation, correct, and/or add a cover over a low-voltage transformer mounted in the ceiling of a bedroom closet. Yes, surface mounted to cover of junction box in ceiling; wired the transformer through the cover, exposed low-voltage side, probably for doorbell.
