Here's a story about a box that was hard to find.
I was doing homes, 40 of them, all the same. Identical to each other.
And we couldn't find out why a circuit wouldn't work, so we break out prints. Low and behold we are missing a box in the dining room wall. We break out our trusty levels and wire tracers and have no luck.
I grab the guy that did the roughing, and he tells me he swears he put a box there, for the recep. So, we continue tracing the circuit, and nothing.
After my rougher, jumping up and down telling me he put the box there, we cautiously start cutting the wall open, this is after paint mind you.
Well looky here, there is a plumbling pipe right where our box should be, and a little more cutting reveals the box. The plumbers decided to remove our box from the wall, to route their pipes through, and never told anyone. The kitchen sink was on the other side of the wall. They removed it for the ease of their pipes. Like I said, these were identical units, you would think the plumbers would route their pipes the same way in every house, guess they forgot the pipe, and caught it before sheetrock.
Who knows...
Needless to say, the GC took pictures and the plumbers got charged for it. Repaint and all.
Did they think they could get away with that?
Dnk......
