I'm very sorry but I need help. I'm looking in 300 for where I need a fitting here. This is one of three signs involved in today's scope of work. Couldn't find the MC in the soffit so opened the sign to see if they stubbed the cable in. Long story but need to list the violation or violations here.

Thanks.

I think I may also have a violation of 330.30(A)(11) as there is no gasket or caulking behind this sign.

Not yet, he hasn't got his inspection yet. I was only able to wire one of 3 today. Fortunately the restaurant owners are both ex construction PM's and are on my side here.

Take pictures for the inspector. Call the sign company and thank them for sending his 8 year old son but kindly send an electrician. If he is this stupid he needs go back to flipping burgers

I spoke to them on the phone today but I won't get into how bizarre that was. The installers super is supposed to call me Monday.
 
You never know what you will find when you open a sign face, spiders, lizards, bugs; but the wiring violations seem to be a given.:grin: Are those LED's?
Haven't seen one like that yet.
