An average day

Again....the litmus test is, should a reasonable person be able to discern between right or wrong.........JMHO

How does that work? It's not a "load" if I didn't put it on the truck. I'm (thankfully) not aware of any laws like that here in the States.

We have that law here in CT.....

I recently managed to evade a huge piece of ice coming off an SUV. Fortunately the lane to my right was empty but it hit my door mirror. It was probably 2' x 3' and made a big dent in the driver door.

This is located in an expensive neighborhood and is visible from the street.



There is this too.

 

[ICE]

There was a building where there will be a building. They saved as much as they needed.

Is it still Grounded?

Major Shear wall? Nice boring....

It is all shear wall. The general contractor met me for the inspection. He didn't know what a shear wall is. No fooling, ..clueless he was. At one point he stepped on a pipe and ended up on his back.

He didn't know what was wrong with this either.

 

[ICE]

It is still connected to the original ground rod.



Other than tools, it was only used for powering the refrigerator.

Did he drive any nails into the pipe?

Couldn't get that pipe in the wall with the other pipe?

That's a lot of chickens. Years ago such a structure caught fire. It was full of roosters used for fighting. The coop was subdivided and rented out to rooster owners. Many dozens of the stalls were still intact and the rooster owners were allowed to claim their fighters.

I saw that before I went inside. I was told that it couldn't be in the wall because of the drain pipe. I was immediately curious.

 

[ICE]

That's a good question. It's all coming out so I'll try to find out about that.

 

[steveray]

At least they used wyes and eighth bends instead of the tees I see here from licensed plumbers.

 

[ICE]

Living on the edge.

[Msradell]

Definitely not a good climbing tree!

 

[steveray]

Saw those in Mexico....Cool stuff, I guess they grow thorns to "protect" themselves, they respond to animal contact and grow thorns in those areas to protect themselves from physical damage...If we could just get NM cable to do that...

 

[ICE]

Service entrance conductors.



The contractor became agitated and shouted that I am the only inspector that gives him a hard time. "Hard Time" stands for corrections.

This happens every time that I inspect his work. He was wound up enough that I stopped the inspection and hit the road.

 

[ICE]

The cord powers the furnace.



The condensate pump is powered from somewhere inside the furnace.

 

[steveray]

Bonding I assume on the SEC conduit? Failed a 400A 480V service for that Thursday..

Wow, 45,000 views, that's gotta be some kinda record, congratulations ICE!

I ran into a small water heater with a cord and plug the other day but it was allowed by code due to the small voltage. This furnace set up would be a violation with cord and plug.

Louvered door for combustion air?
