Compared to typical Canadian work, this panel looks even better than when compared to typical American work.

Alright, here goes. I think this is my first time sharing any of my work on here, so be gentle.

I try to make it look presentable, but not waste tons of time.

I can't tell from the picture but are all those wires on the ceiling just stapled to the bottom of the joist?

No GFCI protection for that quad?

Shame on me for not first saying "Nice Job". Obviously you take pride in your work

They are on running boards.

At the moment of that pic, no.

And there is a running board under all of that wire.

They are on running boards.

:smile::smile: I just put my reading glasses on. So they are....

I cheated. I wear my glasses all the time.

The location of the water heater would not have been my first choice, but the plumber put it there when I wasn't around.

Yes, I did go back and jumper from the cold to the hot side of the WH, and no there is not a metal incoming water line, so we're just binding.

After reading this thread I see we are divided into to two groups -
The Get it done and make it Quick group, and the Looks Count group.
Fortunately I work for the latter and most of my GC's are the same. Since I tend to be a little anal about the looks of my work I take the extra time to make it look good any way. It has helped my 'Boss's' company get more work as a result also.
I saw nothig 'wrong' with any of the pics posted. But I am sure that if you are a code junkie you could find things wrong with every one of them, just as any inspector could.
So to all who have posted pics - Good looking work!

Why? :-?

Nice work.

 

[peter d]

Nice work.

I agree. Finally, "hey_poolboy" has posted some pictures that represents what I've been talking about. Work that is not perfectly neat, but still looks great.

She looks pretty..but...those bends are awful sharp. I'm buying stock in 1/2 inch connectors if this guy stays around for a while.

 

[hey_poolboy]

Why? :-?

Nice work.

Simply because our inspector usually requires us to bond around the WH. I don't argue on that kind of stuff....just plan on it and do it and save the arguments (if I have any) for bigger stuff.

Thanks

My home tel/data setup.

I like those setups. I hate opening those expensive pretty white boxes and seeing the phone wires twisted together.

Which group would you place me in, judging by my posted pix?

Personally, I don't believe the two must be mutually exclusive.
