ECN Forum Forums Code Related Discussion NEC & other Code issues The house being built next door...

Aside from the fact that it appears that somebody got into a fight with a spool of cable, how exactly are the cables to be brought into the breaker panel? There is not enough space to bring all of them in via the top, and the sides and bottom are framed in.

Also, there is no protection for the cables pulled through the holes that are close to the edges of the lumber.

My non-electrician's opinion: These photos speak loudly of "I DON'T CARE!"

Codes to the left of me, DYIer's to the right, here i am...

Stuck in the middle with you......

First off; how the hell are you?????
Haven't heard much from ya in a while....

Now, I have to say my friend that you have a problem with "competition".

Based on the quality of the work that you do, from the pics that I have seen posted..
how can a butcher get away with the sxxx work in this post?????

How can a "builder" let this happen, when there is a "real tradesman" right next door?
Are there absolutley no reule and regulations in your neck of the woods, even for a new house??? It may be time to call in a possee. (spelled right???)

Sparky, You'd be closer to use the real words to that song.

sorry to say this but that is very poor workmanship on the photo i can see it and what more that on the meter box did someone took out too many ko's ring out look little too big useing 2 1/2 hole for 2 inch ta that is shroddy and 2 wire trallver that give me a headache. and what the heck is the 4 inch octgaol box above the 2x4 and wire sticking down straght ??? and using 4 inch boxes for celeing light ??? humm i rather use the celeing fan box for all the celeing appactions to advoid probems and why not staple all the wires to 2x4 or whatever to keep the wires neat insted leaving loose allover the place and i look at the breaker box it look pretty tight there and will have little probem to get all the wires in the wall cavity i am suprised the workmanship.
all i have to say " c'est un désordre"
it mean it is a mess in french

merci marc

sorry to say this

marc,

It's not my work, lol...

No apology needed...



This is an example of my work...



The following diagram is the best I can figure out of how he wires his three ways... The connections themselves are still a mystery to me...
