I have been asked to finish an electrical job. So I am looking at a 5500 square ft house to finish due to a bankruptcy. It has been roughed in. No service equipment is installed other than sub panels. Power company says dig up underground service pipe from house to pole and reinspect. Codes hasn't called me back yet. Anybody have experience in finishing someone elses project and any legal problems along the way. Say we trim out the house get it complete, and it burns down, who's shoulders would that be on...mine or the homeowner. Should I have them sign disclaimers on the rough in wiring? etc... To me the wiring job looks great, but it has been sitting for over a year and I found one sub feed wire cut in half, leading me to believe there may be more unforeseen damage...maybe the last guy sabotaged the work or the job because he didn't get paid...no wiring is missing that I can see, and I looked hard...I don't see the need to rewire it, even though it needs to be updated to 2008 code here. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
