An average day

[ICE]

I was there to inspect the roof sheathing for a re-roof. I really don't want to mess with this. But gosh it's so close to the neighbors house. It must be a Helluva racket when it rains.

If they would only make that carport out of magnesium, it could be a little worse for the neighbor...

Must have misread the setback requirements, 8-ft was changed to 8-inches. At least the carport is non combustible for what that's worth.

ICE, post #2089, not sure what I'm seeing on that roof, support for a gas pipe?

Bootlegged patio covers are problem. Planning dept. approval is required and then a permit. An easy $1000 tossed down a rat hole. So I understand why they build without us. I am actually surprised that we have to regulate them. What we should do is publish the setbacks and plans for a variety of patio covers. And then stay out of it. If and when we find a crap patio cover that did not follow our simple rules it gets torn down.






If it gives up it's in the pool.

Somewhere on this forum, I've seen that brown felt hat on someones nugget!

I think you saw that hat on our one and only Uncle Bob, I miss the old guy. I like your AT6 avatar, I've got a few hours in one.

Won't be a pool at that point it will be a hot tub.....

Scientists keep telling us that we have a massive overpopulation problem, this pool should help alleviate that problem.

Service upgrade by a solar contractor. The bottom 50 amp breakers are labeled "spare".



Each breaker has a #6 landed so I asked the contractor where the other end of the wires are terminated. He said that he doesn't know. From here they go to the previous service enclosure which is now a j-box. There they splice and disappear into the wall. He assured me that everything works with the breakers in the open position so they are obviously spares.

I'd love to hear the answer if he was asked why he bothered connecting it if it was a spare?

Why no arc-faults?

[SCBO1]

Is there a range in this house and what size breaker is being used? Is the double fitty going to a sub?

I did ask and got no answer.

The circuit were extended about 3' in EMT on the outside of the building. Under those circumstances we do not require ARC fault protection.

I don't know that I can call a violation on either of those grounding pics, except for the metal raceway for the GEC has to be bonded at both ends....? Or maybe the pipe wasn't clean? Or the first one if they trimmed to fit...

 

[ICE]

It is the number of strands under the set screw.....should be seven.

 

[steveray]

7....3...5....They are all prime numbers...Geez! you are sooooo picky....

 

[ICE]

15' away is this mess on the neighbor's house.

 

[steveray]

Monkey see....monkey do....do.....

And paint the gas pipe to prevent corrosion...

Must be nice to not have to worry about freezing.
