Is the T&P required to be insulated but not the Hydrogen Hydroxide lines?
It looks like he is directing traffic. He is holding a water hose and is spraying down the solar modules. The building is a public library under construction.

When I see something like this, it tends to put a dark cloud over everything that you do.

The T&P drain wraps around the water heater, goes into the wall and pops out again at the floor.

If you know what this is, you know why it is wrong.

It is a liner pool in the making. No plans on site and I'm alone. My guess is that there will be a cmu wall 3 or four feet tall with a pool in the middle.
There's no permit for a retaining wall. The shadow, while not the actual power line, reflects the path a 12,000 volt Edison line follows directly over the excavation. And speaking of excavations, this one is wide open to the street. And here we go again with the punji stick re-bar.
The no power line over the pool is an Edison rule. Edison's easement usually follows a property line and so do the power lines but not in this case. So Edison might have a problem here.
This section of the pool barrier looks a little iffy to me.
The owner took out the permit and hired a contractor. There are a lot of corrections.

This car wash is nearing completion. Yesterday they requested an el inspection of the 800 amp service. There's better than 50 various lugs, bolts and screws with torque settings but they didn't have a torque wrench. Today they had three...all new. They admitted that all of the lugs, bolts and screws were loose. That has happened many times. They are always surprised at how loose the connections were.

I like how they proactively moved the wheelbarrow so they would not have to dig it out later.

Ice, how may field inspectors in your area? Do they have similar finds daily?
In my area there are two inspectors. The AHJ has 70 or so. As far as what we find goes, my experience is somewhat unique, or so I'm told.

Cellular phone companies are run by nervous people. This generator has battery backup and there is a plug for another generator to backup the batteries.
There's probably an OSHA rule that requires an emergency shutoff. So they put it behind a steel door with $50.00 padlocks.
The sign says that you have to log in before opening the door or an alarm will go off. Just one more password to forget...I don't know about the rest of you but gosh I hate passwords. And what if the alarm goes off? Who shows up for that?

If there's anything left after the fire, the fire dept. can change that up for you.

I am continually confronted with lay-in lugs that are installed wrong. Here they drilled their own hole because the designated hole is on the underside of the module.

I was curious about the discoloration on the copper and I was told that was the result of using a Skilsaw to cut the wire.
