I have done the same thing on work I've done in the past.

I was looking at a pipe run and all I kept asking myself was "What the heck was I thinking?"

Actually my internal dialog is more R rated but gotta keep it clean here.

I suppose this was the one day you had no camera, right?

As for the medical tape we call that hospital grade phase tape. I have been on a job and out of phase tape had to brake in to the first aid kit to get done before.

The bare ground is going out to the supplementary ground rod. It exits through a drain hole in the LB.

LB's come with drain holes?

I guess I am just pure evil, I have been known to drill a small drain hole in LBs.

I do the same thing with bell boxes.

Re: Homeowner DIY

Quite a while back there was a thread about entering the back of a panel (probably loadcenter) bit you on bending radius...how deep is the panel? size wire?

Maybe there should be a violation for too neat of a panel...what are you trying to hide?

Re: Homeowner DIY

Nice try :roll: , you guys are always 'thinkin. No bend radius. Wall is 11" thick... staight in from the LB outside.

Maybe there should be a violation for too neat of a panel...what are you trying to hide?

You have a suspicious mind (primary requirment for inspectors?)
Obviously, I have WAY too much time on my hands.
