The town of clinton hass no inspectors of any kind.

that 3rd pix got me thinking, how is romex to rapel from?

sparky, I think it depends on whether or not you have the right Klein grip

It's the time of year to bring this one to the top.

Do you see stuff like this?

Bill

I see what looks like rusty baling wire holding that bundle of green lampcord together...

Picture number 4.

Doesn't that stuff eventually scrape the insulation off the already-scantily insulated wires?

Just drove thru this town while on another job. The junk is still in the park. Not sure if they left it all year of put it back.
In this area any one can do any work, No licenses, no permits, no AHJ. The town will not hire any inspectors. Chief of fire dept. is only one who even looks at any building but has no town ordinance to enforce. Iowa does not have a state inspection agency.

where do you light the fuse

The worst part to me shows on the linked page where the romex's stray past the playground equiptment, I wonder how many kids have goofed around with this stuff!!! It's one thing to endanger yourself via stupidity, but when you bring the public, even worse, children into the equation is when I get to the point of yanking fuses & breakers on my own!!! Does the serving utility have any say in what is connected to their system out there??? I know a couple So Cal Edison & San Diego Gas & Electric inspectors that have booted meters for less!
