4th year apprentice here. My first time attempting a junction box bigger than a 11B. It's a 24x24 box with 29 MC cables. 20 of those MC cables are 12-3.
What are your thoughts? Any constructive criticism? Or just normal criticism? Or general hatred and disgust? I'm hoping to find a few things I could have done better, so don't hold back.
A few things for me to note:
Circuit colors don’t exactly match the numbers… not my design. I just played the hand I was dealt. Some of those numbers will change when we land the panel. We also had limited colors of MC cable ordered by our PM. Electrical tape on the side of the box is temporary as some of the circuit numbers will change.
My foreman told me to use self tappers in the box for the ground bar because his tap kit. I'd have preferred to install it per design. There's also to 1/2' KOs that I'm going to fill when those come in our next order. It's a small project so we don't have everything on hand.
In hindsight, I’d avoid the zip ties for ease of access in the future.
