Went to look at a job today in which a builder I do a lot of work for is finishing a home someone else started.
The job is in my home county which has no electrical permits or inspections,or any inspections for that matter except septic systems.
The rough electrical and plumbing was done by a guy who holds a non-restricted license in my state in both trades. Now, our co. does both and I was asked to look at both systems and see what needed to be done to finish the job.
The 200a 40space loadcenter had 14 tandem or "piggyback" breakers in it,wires were laying all over the ground in the crawlspace,some going somewhere and some just laying there,the garage had a 20 space main lug panel with 12 ckts,no disco(detached garage) no ground rods. Wires for ceiling fans stubbed through the wood ceiling with no box or blocking for support,
and other off the wall stuff.
As most of you regulars here know I'm not licensed (YET!) my question is this,why do some electricians feel that when nobodys "watching" they can do as they please?
I know the guy that did this and he knows better.
The plumbing was even worse than the wiring.
