An average day

There's a fair amount of water and the stain indicates that there was more.

The service entrance conduit is cross-threaded and not far into the hub. Do you think that it could leak enough to be the source of the water? The service was rained on for days.

The job is a covered patio. It is 18'x38'. When I asked why the steel stopped short I was told that the concrete beyond the post is sidewalk and not patio slab. The contractor is aware that sidewalk on private property is exempt from permit and/or steel.

There is sidewalk on both sides. There used to be a pair of A/C condensers sitting next to the house. The water heater will be replaced when the slab is there.

The condensers were placed next to the property line There is no electrical or mechanical permit. The conduit and refrigerant lines that are buried were not inspected.

There's bound to be some unusual considerations. The tube will need protection.

Mosquito larvae swim in a counterclockwise direction.
The picture is an action packed video.

Replaced a service for a manufactured home although prefer to call them "trailers", that whoever did the job failed to use a gasket on the hub & the water intrusion took it's toll on the aluminum bus to the point it lost a leg. Had nothing but bad things to say about them.
 
A little crude, can't see the scratching's but as long as it has the information needed to issue a permit and you have a copy machine at the office, it would be acceptable IMO.

Would be kinda hard to file.
 
The work was far from ready for inspection. It was11:30 on a Friday and they wanted to roof the house over the weekend. The site was at the far end of my territory so I wasn't coming back later.

This gave me the confidence that they wouldn't cut any corners. I approved the sheathing, as is.
