I give him credit for at least using the proper colored THWN instead of bell wire or extension cord.

Thats if this isn't for a 240V pump motor.. [Linked Image] If it's for the pool light, I'd love to know if there's GFI protection...

Garden hose with "T&E" (Romex) pulled through it is all too common here when a homeowner has wired power to a garden shed or garage.

I worked with an old-timer who use to tell me about garden hose in concrete slabs. I guess they would plug both ends and fill it with water and pour around. Then they would let the water out and pull the hose out of the concrete creating a nice round raceway.

I guess it was either red-neck or cheap. [Linked Image]

Top this guys....
Not too long ago I was part of a conversation where one of the participants (not me) was bragging about using black plastic lawn irrigation pipe to run natural gas from his house to the garage. I kept my mouth shut as the guy was busy justifying how and why he did it and how much money he saved

I used to work for a combined electric and gas utility company, and it wasn't uncommon in the ghetto areas, to find plain old cheap garden hose used to pipe gas, especially from a customer who was still PAYING for gas service, to all the neighboring deadbeats who were stealing his service.
