I can't say that I am truly surprised by the work in this house, it really is fairly typical for new homes these days.

is this home in a development? where the inspector did not actually look at every home?

also, after viewing pic #7, I see that I used the wrong wire when I put in my central vac system. I should have used stereo speaker wire. Is that so the vacuum sounds better?

The insides of the breaker panel is quite literally a "Rat's Nest".

Looks like the plumber and the electrician both did quite a bit of cobbling on this job.

This house is three story, and is on an existing street, there were 5 other houses built with it, in a row. They replaced a big garage that was tore down.

I see the liberal use of duct tape in pictures 5 and 9.. notice how it's already starting to peel in picture 9..

duct tape should never be used for heating ducts.. despite the name, thats not what it
was designed for.

The correct name is 'Duck Tape'. Developed by the US Army-Air Force in WWII, with the technical assistance of a team of top-secret boffins and a sous-chef at a top-secret base in London's Savoy Hotel Restaurant and Grill, [ Egg, Ham and Fries 50 cents, 10% service charge ]. It was used to wrap round HRH King George V 's Royal Duck Flight on Regent's Park Boating-Lake. This was to stop them taking off and frightening the French Ambassador. By late 1941 he was a bag of nerves, smoking 120 Havana cigars a day, terrified he would have to surrender twice in one war.

That is just awful. I guess it's just too inconvenient to do a good job these days :-/

That is some ugly, sloppy work.

Pennsylvania does not require electrical licenses, does it?

Peter

No state license, just local.
