well it just didn't take long....

fully involved garage fire last night, the homeowner built the shop himself, lost it all, along with all his cabinetry tools [Linked Image]

natuarlly, the suspect is DIY'er wiring...

the whole sehebang was fed via pole mounted meter/main , an older murray i believe, the 100A breaker being double lugged...

at one point, being somewhat redundant help, i undid the feeder to the garage so that the house could be energized (after all it was 10 below)


so here we have what i see as most common malady i see here, along with a man out of work, as well as the toolage to work and support his family.

no doubt the donation cans will soon appear at the local choke & puke, but as the specture of blame is raised here, i have to ask who ultimately really is...
