So Scott wanted to know about why they didn't re-identify the grounded conductor as white. Let me show you:

John: What I meant by "illegal bonding" is that they had they neutral and ground bonded together in the panel in the first picture (not service equipment). Think about that bare wire, in direct contact with wood, carrying nuetral current. Scary...I really think that might be one of the biggest fire hazards I've seen in my short tenure as an inspector.

Pierre: No, this wasn't done by a licensed guy, it was done by the owner of the house/garage.

Let me edit this: This picture here is service equipment, but they also had the interior panel bonded (250.24(A)(5).
