Re: Found This Today


Appears the original job was the victim of copper theft, and that was the fix...

I doubt it. Why steal just a foot or so from each homerun when the rest would be wide open? I'd say it's more likely the result of another trade getting POd at (and I use this term outside of it's proper context) the electrician and he cut the wires short on him.

Oh come on.... surely the splice could be done with creative use of some things from the battery section.

My parents house had some butt connectors... At least they were in the panel though. Still don't know why in the hell you would use those instead of wire nuts.

I love my profession, what else to say after this picture, subcontracted by an insurance company, KEEP COMING. I'll be here waiting for you, hope your kids are in grandma house, your wife in the beauty salon and you sleeping next to this "extended" work, IRRESPONSIBLE, and by the way call me!
