Picture #1:
  • 200.7 (as mentioned)
  • I'm not a big fan of forcing the trimmer to use one conductor to bond three switches, but legal
  • Really not a fan of forcing them to do the same thing with the ungrounded conductor.
  • Are the other conductors really 6" long?

Picture #2:
  • I'll betcha this is in violation of bending radius (334.24)
  • Is that water running out of the box? [Linked Image]

Picture #3:
  • The #12's are not secured within 12" of the panel.
  • An 1.5" SER connector is not listed for umpteen NM runs.
  • I wouldn't say that the NM cables are bundled.

In conclusion, I'd say this is horrible - my work isn't all that pretty, but I do better than this in a hurry.

I suspect you could find yourself in a battle over the use of dual copper-reenforced, vinyl-insulated strapping material.
Do you have a hard time getting your staples approved? They're conductive and more intimate with your romex than the copper conductors in these unattractive "straps."

If it's not being used as a wiring method, then this doesn't really apply.

Picture 2...Why not just come out of the bottom of the box and know it is safe from the drywallers?
Safer, maybe, but not safe. Carlon manufactures it's boxes super deep under the presumption that their boxes will be installed in locations not prone to drywall screws. [Linked Image]
