Archangeli Service almost complete...

[weressl]

Electricalperson showed some of his work here, so I figured I would do the same.

Does everybody remember these? If not they are in other threads of various topics, but finally got to work on it, and it is almost complete.

Outside



Through either some miscalculations, or some asthetic reasons, the as-built has changed from the original plan, but for the most part the same.





The inside looks pretty close to the plan, not much has changed in there.




Let the FLAMING BEGIN!!!

I am out of gas......

Seriously it is beautiful work. There is hope yet....:smile:

(Sometimes I get so discouraged by shoddy work that seem to be the norm, not the exception.)

Some people would say that appearence does not necessarily mean that all the connections are tight, all the circuits are tested, etc. IMO it is a bogus argument, since in thsi case the asthetic apperence also reveal that the person know what he was doing and WHY he was doing it, it is not nice looking only for the sake of appearence, but it reflects on the craftsmans skill AND care.

NIce job! You won me over when you painted the back-board.
I had to fight numerous supervisors to do that, but the result is so much more appealing than unpainted wood.

 

[electricalperson]

i like the black backboard to the stuff inside. makes it look a lot better i think. the job came out fantastic good job

 

[JWCELECTRIC]

Nice work! You must of had a heathy budget too make that look good! I agree with augie47 the paint job came out the best.

My only "flame" is that you went a little overboard with the white tape.

you aren't gonna get flamed, and you know it.
that's an immaculate install.
how often do you see strut on a house? 'cmon....

you get the "over the top" award from the left coast.

Are you jealous? That's how we do things east coast style.

(Not me though. My work would look horrible because I can't do neat work. Hacks are incapable of that.)

really nice job and not one post about "exposed romex".. :grin: It's always good to see someone who still takes pride in their work.

Oh, did I forget to mention that it is STAINLESS strut! lol. I can't have it rust. The straps are not stainless, but those are easy enough to change.

Thank goodness. It's nice when a thread doesn't enter the realm of the absurd. :wink:

Bonding bushings or locknuts most likely are not required...load side of the service disconnect and no KOs. 250.97 Exception

'08 code? '05 code is only for over 250V to ground...

NM exposed to "physical damage" and receptacle has grounds in the "down position"!:roll:

 

[emahler]

Here's how the 08 sees it:smileits basically 3 lugs for everyone else)

arlington has just come out with a simple, inexpensive ground bar designed to attach to the GEC and be mounted outside the house...

Uh oh. The downward spiral has begun.

Just had to do it! The work looks great!:smile: What kind of generator are you installing?

 

[StreamlineGT]

Well, it has to be a Generac, as that is the xfer switch that was installed. The customer is leaning towards the 17kw, but hasn't made a final decision yet, or if he will get one before move in. He's a little over budget....lol. This is a house with 106 recessed cans.

 

[ItsHot]

cans

cans

106 cans!! My neck is hurting just thinking about them!

well, now that i've found you didn't use stainless straps.... now you're in trouble
for sure... expect peter to call you a hack any minute now.

you're an industrial guy posing as a house hack.... ADMIT IT!!!

i was minding my own business over on another thread, and he ran over
there and insulted me....

stainless strut... i thought i was the only one sick enough to do something
like that...... 304 or 316?

 

[scrooge]

A good looking job.

A good looking job.

White in left panel, two reds in right panel on 'A' phase. Why 40 circuit panels?
