Trumpy,
I agree. However it is amusing. This should serve as a reminder to all home owners and EC's that hiring an inept electrician can cause trouble.
Several years ago we were against the same situation. I was being told that the guy I hired was a real Doofy 2. Being in the office 90% of the time I couldn't see it for myself.
One evening on a service call while changing a CH 200 amp main breaker loadcenter DOOFY 2 laid the ground across the live bus bars blowing the fuses on the transformer. Once the power was restored and everything and everyone safe DOOFY 2 did it again this time igniting some paper that was below the panel.
The fire dept was called then I was called and DOOFY 2 was fired on the spot.
We talk about this now and laugh when in reality we were lucky that the house didn't burn down or worse yet someone was killed.
