Pipe? What pipe?

The wire to the box is inside a copper pipe. Its wall -> copper pipe -> electrical box.

The wires are in the copper pipe.

Right then that’s a conduit and you can probably bend it back.

It didn’t want to bend. I wound up hitting it many times with a hammer to bend it inward… not fun but hey it may work out.

Then I’m confused about how this looked before, was the conduit always sticking out?

Nope. There was an access box flush in the wall. He broke the wall, pulled it out and here we are.

Wow, what did he “fix” then? He did a terrible job. I understand an electrician not fixing the cement block, but they should have properly installed and secured the box flush with the concrete.
