The inspection was for track and ledger for an enclosed patio cover. The el. service drop to the bootlegged panel will be about two feet above the aluminum skinned roof.

A contractor took out a permit to build an enclosed patio cover. Right away I could tell that the panel was not permitted....at least I hope not.

The door won't close because the enclosure is set too deep into the plaster, the circuit breakers aren't labeled and the connection at the goose-neck isn't Edison's handiwork. I will have to check the file on Wednesday when I go back to work.

What is somewhat discouraging is that any contractor could tell that the drop will be too close and yet let it get this far.

A copter is it.....I'm not allowed to spot anything unless I am standing on both feet. That's one reason I always go on the roof.....just kidding..I really try to not see too much.
