An electrician ‘fixed’ an issue by making this hole in a basement cinder block wall.

… how do I put that box back in or fix the wall or something?

Inside the box are two capped (hot) wires.

The pipe seems to be copper. Doesn’t bend or anything. It can’t (at least easily) be pushed back in.

I had wanted to use cement paste… but like what do I do about the box? I guess I could paste everything except the metal pipe but geez: then i still have this sketchy box hanging out.

Any ideas?

    The wire is inside a copper pipe. The line going to the box is a copper pipe with 2 wires in it. (I think its already protected.)

      If that’s the case, I’d probaby try to cut the copper pipe back, install a 90 degree fitting and do the rest of what I suggested.
