Amazing. I seen one that was very scary, they ran plumbing supply lines through the electrical panel in basement. There was no need, plenty of access, plenty of room and many options, but they did. I had to remove first thing before starting the remodel. Homeowners in Ulster County NY do not need to be licensed and can work on anything in their own home.
That big ass jumble of wires is my Worst Nightmare... It's like when my headphones just magically knot themselves up when i'm not fucking looking. =.=
@nitrostateteam Also, I just searched your license number on the Queensland website, it's invalid. I suggest anyone else who is reading what this guy says do the same. It proves that he is a liar and a fraud who doesn't know what he is talking about. Who would give out a fake license number to try and win an argument on the internet? How pathetic...
@nitrostateteam Water is actually a terrible conductor. A very, very small amount of current might pass thru water that bridges the busses. You would never see any type of arcflash from this. Take a look inside just about any outdoor enclosure that has been there for more than 5 years, there is a good chance you will find water in it. Other than tripping a GFCI or AFCi, the water really doesn't do anything, it certainly doesn't cause explosions.
@voltagehz Actually, water can cause an explosion.There was a job on a local mall where new conductors were being pulled through conduit. The other cables were still live while doing this in the same conduit,and couldn't be shut off. The conduits were sealed but still had water in them. The new cables abraded the live cables, caused the water to turn to steam, and blew out the back wall of the JC Penney!
@voltagehz Ha, Yes...At my last job, I was elec/mech maint. I got to fix a whole lot of this kind of stuff, in the 44,000 foot building, 1,000 amps of 480 coming in.
Hey can someone tell me if this sounds unsafe? The lighting booth in my schools auditorium is old and beatin' up. When I go inside i have to hit the wall several times for the lights to go on.. Is that bad? :S
Ok, I commented a few days ago, but every time I watch this, I crack up AND I THANK GOD for our government (that is supposed to be us by the way) and safety codes. Now whether or not people obey them, well, that is another issue. I just hope there were no fatal fires or electrocutions from this sh*t!!!
@dmesz311 Look more carefully. Most if not all of the stuff in this video is unsafe and needs to be corrected before a fire starts or someone gets electrocuted.
I commented on this about 6 mo ago, BUT IT Reminds me what we encountered when we vacationed on the Riviera Maya 5 years ago; if you didn't get electrocuted walking across a lawn with AC cords spliced at the plug for lights in the trees on wet grass and hair dryers hard wired behind BR wall plug covers, you might just sh*t yourself to death from bad food and/or ice cubes. I feared coming back to the USA in a BOX!! Took me 2 weeks to recoup! THANK GOD FOR OUR SAFETY LAWS IN THE USA! LOL
@oldmick581 well thank god you didn't get electrocute, I'm from mexico city and I live in chicago and actually I think that it doesn't matter the country or the place, I have been working 6 years as electrician and i have found so many mistakes that others have done and make me wonder how the hell the place didn't burn down. I know in some place in mexico aren't the most safety ones.
So much for box fill at 1:06. I guess he could get the cover on. Forget the 6" of free wire. If U can jam the circuits in the 1900 box then UR good to go...right?
Electrician here. I have seen extension boxes used in commercial building with as many as 8 extension rings stacked. the wires were so short inside there that there was no way to access all the wires to test for a intermitent neutral causing a floating neutral condition. guess where this was at ina 911 call center and it was not permitted to shut breakers off to clean up this mess. I had to run new circuits and abandon what was in this mess.
I'm sorry..I'm so dam sorry i couldnt stop laughing after ther first few pics. I mean, what the hell is wrong with 7 extension rings onna 4 square metal box? omg. (still chuckllng). But none of this stuff was done by electricians. Unless it was their brother in law stopping by for a few beers. Seriously though,how many times have you lost the panel cover on a trim and hadda use a little duct tape?lmfao...happens to me alla time!

I can't believe my eyes on some of that work. I am not an electrician, but common sense should kick in sometime. Hard to believe some of those jobs. I am a trades person and have dabbled in a little wiring, but that video was crazy to say the least. have a good day! Al
im a 4th year apprentice and im asking myself how in the **** did they do that? the one at 0:55 is wicked looking would suck. I remodeled a mathis brothers in okc and they had free wired the main power into the panel down a wall with a shit load of nails in it. Just amazes me man.
@starks758 I got u beat hands down. I was at a factory overseas that was wired with bell wire. The fuse housing caught fire and the fuse never melted. Talk about doing a rewire job. Grounding means nothing to them, bless their hearts. hahaha
I love this shit! I find this stuff all the time and keep it in my own little museum when I remove it. Junction boxes made from cigar boxes. An extension cord made from a Dawn bottle, a receptacle, and a cord. Keep em comin'!
Some of those things (all the extension rings for one) are things you would have some electrical knowledge to figure it out and therefore should know WAYYYY better!
1.) I couldn't see the problem with 1.05 So what if there are alot of connectors in one junction box, as long as they are in the same circuit, and you can close the freaking box.
2.) I don't get wtf is wrong with 0.26
3.) with 1.25, it's not the electrician's fault, The switchboard was obviously there first before the plumber ran his pipe for gas in, it's the plumber who's stupid and should get his ass kicked.
wow i mean really?? this a great video of pics. i never thought to look up something like that. even as a diy electrician i would know none of that looks right. wow.
leftmost screw holds pipe in place while rightmost isnt very long, and locks connection. I know if I woul be about 10 years old, and I could access it, i would perhaps play with it by unscrewing it... who knows what could happen next...
@amutsc The set screw is not the problem with it, as most indoor EMT conduit systems use set-screw connectors and couplings. The problem is the "coupling" itself--it is not actually a coupling, but a EMT to Flex adapter that someone rigged into a "reducing coupling". The conduit on left is larger than on the right, so instead of installing a junction box or a approved fitting for the reduction of the conduit they found a adapter in their junk pile and used it, but its not listed for this use.
I've been doing wiring for the past 22 years, and I have to say I have seen some mess in my day!!! But this video is almost comical, what would we do with out a jack leg??? They make it bad for a licensed contractor dont they?????
wow,just wow,I thought I had seen it all,imagine how many people sleep soundly with things like that in their home or business and don't even worry or have a clue,the gas line in the panel made me cringe too
WTF????? I thought the electrical codes were bad when we vacationed in Mexico on the Riviera Maya! Speaking of the Riviera Maya, if you are an American vacationing there take lots of K. O. Pectate (or however the hell you spell it) and a box of Depend Undergarments. I had the sh*ts sooooo bad I thought I would come home in a box!! Only eat food that is fried in HOT grease and DON'T drink anything! And this was one of the most expensive vacations my wife and I ever took!! LOL (:>)
wtf is this? i hope nobody got hurt out of this. the spectors should get sued cause some one could of died the electrician should get fired and the gas should be free for the rest of their lifes.
How did those electricians get hired and get their electrician license to do a dirty job like that? come on, how could they think to place an electrical panel in the shower? same thing to the gas engineers how did they get their license to become gas engineers? and how could that house pass the inspection?
@702sincitylv I'm pretty sure the panel was existing in that location and a homeowner or DIY'er decided to expand their bathroom shower without getting the pros to do it. The tile and the shower look almost brand new, the panel is obviously older. Save a few bucks vs. burn your house down or you or a loved one die a painful death in the shower when you ground out your panel. Hmm. Call an electrician and check references! I'm a good electrician but there are some bad bad ones out there.
Sadly we see this kind of work so often. Sometimes it is done by actual contractors! We've got a couple in town who keep us in business. Gotta wonder how some of these guys manage to stay in business.
Evil, Pure Evil. Father Save Your Servants. That is so sick. So Evil. Dangerous! The box with all the wire caps is suposed to be a hospital. Oh My God!!!!
Sad thing, but doing mostly residential, I see stuff like this all the time. The duct taped panel at 35; I'd say at least someone made the effort for safety on that one. Most jacklegs just leave an open panel. Sad thing is, the light or receptacle usually works & that's all the customer wants. He doesn't understand the time bombs in his walls, or the ones in the open. And he got it for a bargain price.
Wow... I am speechless! Seriously! WHO DOES THIS?! Every single one of these pictures has at least one HUGE violation! A gas pipe running into and out of a panel? A breaker panel in a damn bathtub? A FREAKING BATHTUB?! WHAT ARE PEOPLE THINKING?!
Saw plenty like these in my 25 year career....in schools & public buildings, not always the home owner.

How did those electricians get hired and get their electrician license to do a dirty job like that? come on, how could they think to place an electrical panel in the shower? same thing to the gas engineers how did they get their license to become gas engineers? and how could that house pass the inspection?

@702sincitylv I'm pretty sure the panel was existing in that location and a homeowner or DIY'er decided to expand their bathroom shower without getting the pros to do it. The tile and the shower look almost brand new, the panel is obviously older. Save a few bucks vs. burn your house down or you or a loved one die a painful death in the shower when you ground out your panel. Hmm. Call an electrician and check references! I'm a good electrician but there are some bad bad ones out there.

Sadly we see this kind of work so often. Sometimes it is done by actual contractors! We've got a couple in town who keep us in business. Gotta wonder how some of these guys manage to stay in business.

Sad thing, but doing mostly residential, I see stuff like this all the time. The duct taped panel at 35; I'd say at least someone made the effort for safety on that one. Most jacklegs just leave an open panel. Sad thing is, the light or receptacle usually works & that's all the customer wants. He doesn't understand the time bombs in his walls, or the ones in the open. And he got it for a bargain price.
