CODE DEFECTS
What?s Wrong Here?
Think you can spot defects the original installer either ignored or couldn?t identify himself? Here?s your chance to moonlight as an electrical inspector and second-guess someone else?s work from the safety of your living room or office. Joe Tedesco, who has a knack for finding shoddy electrical work, did the dirty work and found this mess. Now it?s your turn to identify the defect!

The conduit also has no connector physically attaching it to the box, and the sheathing of the NM-B is excessive and likely causes an “overfill” of the conduit, though I can’t see the wire gauge and conduit size to be sure.
Do I get a star? Do I do I?
-- Those that say it cannot be done should stop interupting those of us who are hard at work, doing it...
