Look what this yahoo did in this subpanel install. I think my Title fits the shoe.

Welcome to the forum.

Your yahoo must have learned from the yahoo that did this.

toptobottom,

Welcome to The Building Codes Forum!

So that some of the other forum members & guests can relate ( better )

to your pictures and posting, can you please cite the applicable code

sections and from what edition of the codes you are using?

Thanks!

.

Thanks for the Welcome guys. I've been friends with jar546 for many moons - figured he would chime in soon.

This yahoo's home was in the Lake Wallenpaupack area of Pike County PA.

globe trekker,

Sorry, but I don't have the NEC as I'm only a Home Inspector in NY & PA and a NY Code Official where I reside. Here in NY our code books have been modified so I wouldn't want to possibly confuse matters by code section violations in case ours are different.

ICE,

With the acceptance of Gay marriage in many states now, I believe we should introduce our yahoo's together so they can unite in Un-Permitted Matrimony

It's nice to see someone is using camera and it helps that you're a little bit twisted too. Your pictures are a code violation in any jurisdiction with any code version.

Are these yahoo's home owners trying to do there own work or was this work done by a licensed electrician? There is a big differance!

The picture that I posted above was a guy hired off the corner. The pictures below are a licensed electrical contractor's best effort. I couldn't open the cover because it is sealed with silicone. The j-box cover will not close because the conduit is too large for the box. I wrote nine other corrections as well. When I get inside I'm sure to write some more.

So what's the difference?

Here's another example of a license holder's work.
