Another quality job. I am not sure if the HVAC guys or the homeowner did this one.
I'll hook up my own AC unit in the attic Thank You

Take a closer look, as us inspectors would...the plastic is still on the unit.

What's the red in the center of the photo? Is that part of the red tag? Never mind. False alarm...it's a red wirenut.

Some EC's are surprised when i go in crawlspaces and carry ladders for getting into attics.

Do you bring your own ladder, or does the contractor provide you with the ladder?
Here the contractor is required to provide access to all work that is to be inspected, so they are required to provide a ladder, lift ect...

They are required to provide access but often I am there first and already have mine out.

I don't know if bread wrapper ties are legal for securing Romex, cause this installer has a stale loaf somewhere.

Everyone knows you don't use bread-wrapper ties to bundle NM together. That's what zip-ties are for.
You call them bread-wrapper ties also? Can't they be used for uniform hanger bundling, celery bundling, NM bundling, etc.

From the looks of the work what are the chances of a light and a service receptacle being there in this attic.

Looks a little like some of the work (not quite finished) at some electrician's houses to me., lol
I'm trying to understand the switch leg in the scheme of things.
I also called 'em wire ties. Then I became an electrician. "Current-carrying conductor ties' seemed a tad bulky, so I went to 'bread-wrapper ties'. :smile: I also don't bundle my celery, I tend to eat it instead.

The world goes round with bubble gum, bailing twine and now duck tape. This is a shame and a disgrace.
