Ok so the whole house isnt a hack job but.........
Its a new house(brand new)
Owner has "someone" build and wire a basement studio apartment.
Needed someone to make what the guy did work.......he moved uo to ny
Found no breakers in panel outside(owner told me he used panel in garage)
Asked if it was done on original permit...... Oh no we dont need no permit.
I found numerous violations, showed him what they were.....
I hooked up circuits found things mostly right but couldnt find why bathroom gfi came from(in basement wire went down wall)Finally found it on a gfi in 3rd floor(all had gfi receps stupid me took 20 min to figure out its on 3rd floor)
So I hand him a bill for 155 for 2 hours and a BR20 twin breaker. Was there two hours checking all outlets, fixing a 3way, hooking circuits blah blah.
He was surprized I was charging that much I guess because he said he needed a few days and would mail it to me. Friend of a customer/GC so I say ok. How could you not have a few hundred set aside before you called someone? It was like he expected to pay 50 dollars but he did not complain
just asked for a few days......
