Every once in a while I come across installations like this that are both funny and sad at the same time. Just thought I'd share in the amusement :
The funny part about this and what I'd really like to know is :
1) Did they install the wire "after" the fittings were installed or did they install it as the PVC was going up ?
2) Why did they mix white and gray PVC ? If you're at the plumbing supply why not get all white ?
3) Did they only have 3 gray PVC straps left at the supply house ?
The sad and unfortunate part about this is that this installation is at a private lake clubhouse. It was probably done by a caretaker who was trying to save the association a few bucks. Little did he know that in NJ, with respect to electrical work, there is no distinction between public and private. It's either residential or commercial. Obviously this is not residential so the only category left is commercial. Doing commercial electrical work in NJ without a license is a felony. I'm sure this wasn't inspected :happyno:
