This lamp was a home made Christmas gift from a family member who is an artist and a very creative fellow. All found objects used in making this unique lamp. I don’t think it could be UL approved however. Note the cord passing thru the half inch copper pipe with no bushing in place.
The attached file “Light” show in improperly wired light.
The attached file “Receptacle” displays a horror show with a litany of hazardous conditions and code violations.
In this image, the SEC Mast is unsupported and being pulled to the left by the tension of the cables themselves.
It’s drip loops are “thin” to say the least, and should be addressed further.
The meter box on the wall below is missing its cover and the fuses are exposed to the weather.
Hey,
This is a pic of my moms kitchen receptacle. It is not a GFCI protected outlet. I double checked just to make sure and there was no GFCI breaker in the panel. I guess I’ll be taking a trip to my local electrical supplier to get a couple GFCI’s for her house. There aren’t any in the bathrooms, garage or outside either.

Good man!
Here is the distribution panel (without a service disconnect) for my condo. The service disconnect is at the meter.
Here is a GFCI recepticle in the kitchen near the sink and stove. It has been tested and is functioning at the time of inspection.
Here is a picture of a GFCI in my kitchen.
It works fine. I know not to exciting. Great course.
Thanks

Here is some pictures of a commercial job I’m currently working on as my electrician is replacing florescent lighting with LED can lighting.
LED bulbs are fairly expensive at about $15.00 per bulb but are worth it in the long run because they use less energy, last longer, and don’t heat up like other bulbs. I think they would be very good in older homes that have a lot of blown in insulation where heat would be a problem.
Notice this picture where all the wires are laying on the grid ceiling which is a code violation and should ether be in conduit or tied up where it would not be touching the grid ceiling.:roll:
Hello there people I have been taking this electrical course and it is kicking my but I do not know a lot about housing electricity and and with the whole flow rate = amps = I what does the I stand for please
Picture of service or distribution panel containing the service disconnect. This panel is a Zinsco type and it is recommended that a review by a licensed electrician be performed. This type panel may not be acceptable to some insurance carriers.

This is a picture of a GFCI protected outlet in my kitchen. There are two total that are on the same circuit. If one of the recepticles is tripped, they will both be set to safe mode.
The attached photo shows a panel blocked by a freezer. It does not have a 36 inch clearance in front of it. It is a safety concern for the home owner should an emergency happen. Recommend that the freezer be moved to allow access to the panel.
Sub panel installed by homeowner in garage. Used 50 Amp service, wires improperly secured in wall and ceiling. Floating neutral found in panel but also has separate ground wire at the exterior.
Electrical panel of a house built in 1995. No double taps, no signs of any arcing or over heating.
This is a panel that is in good condition.
It’s enclosed in my daughter’s bedroom.
My question is the phone company has installed a router on the inside of the door.
I am weary because the heat generated from the panel could wear out the router when the doors are closed and the lack on air circulation.
The installer said it should be fine but with my past experience with computers I am unconvinced.
Any body has thoughts or ideas?
Thanks
