I just want to get all my ducks in a row so naturally I turn to Mr. Holt's guys. A house that had been remodeled (without any permit I might add, and completely finished, including rewiring) had caught fire below the panel. I was called out as a consultant from the local F.D. and noticed immediately why there was a fire. Whoever did the work had cut the POCO's tag, removed the meter and load side feed ( it was one of those 1940's models) and ran a 6/3 awg through the wall to the newly installed 200A panel that was located at the end of the sink in the bathroom, hence the fire. The guy calls today for an inspection on the "service" not knowing that I had already been out to the site. I told him that he would have to move the panel out of the bathroom to which he replied "but it was already there". I told him I would get back to him tomorrow as I was swamped in paperwork. My feelings are if they had followed proper procedure none of this would have happened in the first place. So my question to the forum is does it even matter if it was in the bathroom to begin with? Isn't wrong still wrong? Thanks in advance guys!:smile:
