Joe T,


My personal favorite was #11, the overcrowded junction box in the hospital. How on earth did they manage to get all those wires into that box to begin with?

MarkR and Joe:


That picture was given to me by the Editor of the NFPA Fire Alarm Handbook about 10 years ago, and he said that the wires were all associated with the hospital's fire alarm system.

I will get the story again in May while in Salt Lake City so I can post it, but tell be that this installer was qualified and I will have a real problem!

This is the type of crap that the "wannabe installers" are producing.



I always said, and still say there can be no "locked doors" when making an inspection! The door is locked, then I will come back when it is opened up for my inspection!

The transformer is violating the working space clearance of the disconnects above it.
