Except for the joists with glue on top of them

Possibly wired for a ceiling fan that was not installed, or more likely it powers an outlet for a lamp

If you're taking the paneling down, it's no big deal to upgrade to regular boxes at the right depth. Advantage 1: safer, regular grounded outlets Advantage 2: nailed to a stud, not clipped to the rock - sturdier Advantage 3: you can add outlets, and/or relocate existing outlets to the spots that mak...

Ideally ideally it should 90 out to drain outside the skirting.
