Todays' job: Panel swap and clean up some misc. code violations. Here's one:

Outside recep, with a cord plugged in.

Notice how the cord wanders & meanders around where people walk.

Let's follow it, and see where it goes................

Oooh! Not good! Through 2 doors and into the house:

Down the stairs....... (I'm sure this ain't very safe, energized or not!):

...and across the basement floor..........

.............where there's another cord plugged in to it.

Wait a minute! Is that a DRYER cord?
​

By cracky, it sure is!

Good, old-fashioned 3-wire dryer recep.
​

Nice box!
​

Needless to say, this got fixed. And the dryer is sure to work better on 240volts than 120!

The table is not listed for outdoor use and the rug is ugly.

There is no handrail on the stairs leading to the basement.

Also the winder configuration of the stairs is too tight and does not have the required 6" minimum tread depth at the shortest point.

The table is not listed for outdoor use ............

Yes it is.... see the NEMA 3R cover on it?

....... and the rug is ugly.

Looks great from my house.

Also the bottom step has more than 3/8" difference in rise compared to the rest of the flight of stairs.

I was wondering how you could spot 3/8" in these picture but .... never mind. :grin:

Is that dark spot at the bottom a sump pump hole?

The stuff that was in the boxes probably got consumed, that's why the dryer was wired that way!:grin:

.

No. Shadow of the lens.

 

[K8MHZ]

No supports on the conduit.

I'm surprise you all missed that.

GREAT pics, BTW!!!!

I suppose the indoor j box outdoors is just fine as well as no in use cover ,cord as a permanent wirng method,no bush at the last box and box just laying on the floor. Those seem perfectly reasonable probably to the guy that consumed all that alcoholic product eh? Outdoor conduit also looks like water pipe instead of sched 40. Thats the outdoor ones with no straps .

I think that one isn't able to store propane inside too.

If you drank that much beer could you do any better ?

 

[tommy]

That's what I figured the beer made them do it!

 

[LarryFine]

Nothing like a second opinion.

 

[hotwire1955]

shoveling snow with a rake?

Ithink they're out of beer:roll:

It's obvious that this was installed to melt the snow. That's why it's in the walkway! Anyone can see that! Now why they would heat the beer with it, I can't tell you. They should be punished for that. The beer should be outside so that it's nice and frosty cold.

It's not to heat the beer. See all the curlicues in the wire? That's from wrapping it around the cans. Anyone with a basic understanding of thermodynamics knows that Bud Light is best cooled by wicking the warmth away to the outdoors in sub-freezing temperature using copper conductors. Duh.
