Holy smokes!
You can't? Around here, a buyer may request a home inspection, but it generally means little.
Never in In all my days...

From a person who see no reason requiring a license a permit and an inspection: "What's wrong with that?"

What is sad is i bet they spend more money to do it wrong and more time. We must assume no permit or inspection.
Do tell us where this is. My bet is in KY

It might be the same but the point is we do not know as it is not listed as PVC conduit.
PVC conduit must have certain flame characteristics along with sunlight resistance. I have no idea if plumbing pipe has the same rules.

I like how the installer used large pipe and made sure he didn't overfill the conduit
I agree... & the open 4" Y fittings provide a nice access point to add wire lube.

My appologies to all the Hoosiers. It's my understanding Pennylsvania like Indiana has no state issued electrical license.
Some counties have no ispections offices. You can build homes with out permits. Except from the health department for the sewer system.

About 20 years ago some homeowner did his own wiring to a shop. He used plumbing pipe to the building. The inspector looked at it and told him it needed to be the gray stuff. So the ho painted it and the inspector said I guess that will be okay and passed it. True story.
But these pictures take the cake.

I'm still trying to understand this installer's thought processes and how this all made sense to him. It truely boggles the mind!

"Hey! I finally found a use for all that pipe I've had sitting in the garage for the past 20 years!"

It?s sad, but true. While some of us go through a five year apprenticeship, take local city journeyman licensing exams, and pay a yearly fee to keep a license, there are people out there who happen to have a pick up truck and a ladder and can call themselves electricians.

Awesome! The next time I need some 4/0 and only have some 1/0, I'll just whip out my Sharpie and re-label the wire: good to go!
