Reverse Polarity and Funny Reading from my Voltage Sniffer
Hey Guys,

Check this picture out and tell me what you think. I was inspecting a 50 year old house today and came across this outlet that my tester read as reverse polarity. When that happens I usually pull out my "voltage sniffer" to double check that reading and I didn't get within 3 inches of this outlet without my "voltage sniffer" light coming on! Usually I have to get right next to an outlet to get a reading, does this mean anything else besides what I already know?
