...He din't make the boxes or the wire.... So, I can install everything with lamp-wire and duct-tape and when it fails it's the manufacturers fault for not making 600V hard-use zip cord and non-conductive UL listed duct-tape? ![[Linked Image]](https://www.electrical-contractor.net/ubb/rolleyes.gif) Give me a break! He was obviously so nice he had absolutely no problem conning them out of a load of money just to create a significant electrocution hazard. Gee, what a swell guy! ![[Linked Image]](https://www.electrical-contractor.net/ubb/mad.gif) -John

Here in New Jersey, I don,t know why we have Lic. Issued, there is no inforcement, anyone can do jobs, and just laugh at us for following the rules, the board added 22 hours plus for us, but never addressed the problem of inforcement, I guess the state boards intention, is to make it harder for us to operate and let these idiots run wild, what a sad situation.

It is junk like that with NO effective penalty for the fly by nite that gets me angry.
Why do we have AHJ's if not to stop this kind of junk?
I have seen too much of this junk. The sweat talking SOB's that rip people off this way should be IN JAIL for fraud and working without licensing or permits.
Some times I think that if the AHJ's cannot or will not stop this junk maybe we should get rid of our license and permit system. After all there are a lot of areas that do not have permits or licenses.
OK done venting

I don't like you telling me, it was his work that was bad, when it was bad material, he told me to watch out for the electrician, that you would bad mouth his work. Sheesh! The trouble is that there are those conmen who come across as so reasonable-sounding that some people won't accept when they've been hoodwinked. Use of unsuitable materials and installation methods for outdoor wiring is something I come across fairly regularly. I've given quotes for outdoor work and had a homeowner complain that I must be trying to rip him off because I'm charging "such high prices" for a switch or socket. Pointing out that indoor devices are not suitable for outdoor installation doesn't seem to count for anything.

Another Beautiful Job: This job was done by an AC contractor, he does electrical work too, and he must be good because he does work for a local Box Store.

Don't you think you're being a little hard on the guy? I mean, once they patch that hole by slopping a couple handfulls of joint-compound in on top of that panel it'll be like there was never even a problem! -John

John,
If you look above the 04 the black wire is bare in one spot and almost touching the bare ground, but they got a good deal on this panel only change out, the AC guy told them since he was already there doing the AC he could put the new panel in for only $1800.00 this is the second time in one month, we found a job with serious problems done by the village idiot.

Gotta love the double barrel MC connectors... Doesn't he realize that the sheath is supposed to be about an inch inside the box?.. Speaking of which... I'd be afraid to look inside this thing! ![[Linked Image]](https://www.electrical-contractor.net/ubb/eek.gif) ![[Linked Image]](https://www.electrical-contractor.net/ubb/frown.gif) -Randy [This message has been edited by Lostazhell (edited 04-28-2004).]
