Marc Posted December 21, 2012 Report Share Posted December 21, 2012 As a contractor, I run from jobs like these. I won't even bid on them. No one likes what the previous contractor did for them and they'll dislike me no less once I get involved. No thanks. Marc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Kogel Posted December 21, 2012 Report Share Posted December 21, 2012 It looks like the plan was to cover it all up and make it go away, but then some other distraction came along, too bad. Pulling it all out won't take long, but labeling every circuit and putting it all right will be a chore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Raymond Posted December 21, 2012 Report Share Posted December 21, 2012 Marc is right, run like hell. Whoever tries to fix that is gonna be married to every inch of wire in that place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimd4j Posted December 21, 2012 Report Share Posted December 21, 2012 I agree intirely, if the wire looks like that at the panel what does it look like where it's hidden? run run and don't look back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric B Posted December 23, 2012 Report Share Posted December 23, 2012 I don't know if I would have even bothered opening the panel. Then again curiosity might have gotten the better of me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I open all the panel I can. Got to see if anything is wrong with it on the inside. This was done in 2005 by one of the bigger companies in the area.

Jim Port Posted December 26, 2012 Report Share Posted December 26, 2012 While it is certainly a mess, that installation like on the right panel is allowed with the conduit sleeve. There are conditions like draft stopping, a fitting at the top and cables being secured also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
