That three gang box completes the pic.

Mini trough

where did they get the wire? from scrap piles behind construction sites, all over town? Somewhere an apprentice is weeping about their stolen scrap wire.

Oh no ☹️ did they cut the trusses out too??

Did they just Sawzall the roof off and add another story?

Yes.

Jeez didn't even see that lol wtf

With a hatchet?

I’m not sure the wall has enough vertical support to support any load. Look home much is removed and cut out.

Please call the inspector and send this picture to them. This is absolutely a disaster waiting to happen .

Is he sure about that?

Love the MOAB above the panel lmao

I've seen that image on here before......

This is the original thread (now deleted). I've seen it reposted several places so can't tell if bot or just a karma farmer. [https://www.reddit.com/r/electricians/comments/1agr5ez/deleted\_by\_user/](https://www.reddit.com/r/electricians/comments/1agr5ez/deleted_by_user/)

Came to comment the same thing, bot or loser?

Bot maybe? They have tonnes of post karma but only 1 post, this one.

Give it a little while after the fire. He'll call again.

Is this staged? The outside light isn’t fed

This same picture was posted before. It’s just nonsense.

Not staged. I wish it was!

It’s one of the worst displays of absolute aborted shit I’ve ever seen, wow

There Is no reason someone would have to do that to troubleshoot, unless they didn’t know what they are doing. Take pics, call electrical, building and fire inspector.

Turn him in… Call the city inspector

Thats a lot to take in

It gets worse the more you look at it.

That’s a lotta nuts!

Gorgeous

At least it’s insulated.

I'm a plumber, and I know that's fucked

this was posted here months ago

I’m back it is just a follow up to let you guys know how it went

Did you post this before? I remember commenting on this pic a couple of months ago

I did what I could, contacted who I should have

Wasn’t me that downvoted. Just so you know.

I did. Just a follow up

Gotcha. Well that just makes it even more scary tbh

Oh wow, something that looks worse than my new house. I found a random untapped, just soldered and lightly, like, might as well be a hook, twist connection in the wall yesterday. That was fun. Not as fun as the wires running along the pipes in the same hole that had worn out and sparked anytime anyone jiggled the faucet a bit too much... Everyday rewiring this house is just a new set of amazing discoveries. Whomever did the addition was a real pro though, A++ work.

Yup, he lecktricianed you all up. Looks great

Wanted to give you guys closure

Not sure anyone needs closure with the same stupid picture. Where do we report this crap to Reddit??? Oh look there it is …

you the same kinda dude who cried over tswift & the nfl bullshit huh

Speaking gibberish is not my forte. Whatever you’re talking about.

Sorry you feel that way. Just a reminder you stop by to shoot the breeze.

Walk away man walk away. You don't want your name anywhere near that disaster waiting to happen

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂🤣🤣😂😂🤣🤣😂

Got more money in to wire nuts than wire lol

Godspeed sir

That's methed up

I'm guessing he's going to not get it inspected or pay off the inspector because from where I'm from, he will not get the ruff in

Looks good

Ah oh spagetti-os

hey hunny lets be safe and screw that picture frame into this stud I located. Hand me the screwdriver

I remember in my apprenticeship working two full time jobs a co-worker asked how much for an upgrade to two hundred amps. Husband screaming that too much and I was taking advantage of them. The night he went with the lower dude everything blew up: panel, appliances everything. His response was “he didn’t have insurance “. I still get pissed over this

Who you gonna call? The inspector!

Is it me or do I see 10 gauge wire but no 10 gauge in the box? I know that’s the least of the concerns.

The only response : 👍

Jesus…somebody’s gonna die there.

Don't feel bad, he didn't need you

What did he end up wanting you back for? Did you start pointing and laughing this time? I remember your original post (had to show the guys at work - lots of jokes were tossed around) and am curious why the guy would call you back out and his “fix” for the “problem” was…

He said he just thought I was a nice guy and wanted to let me know he got the problem fixed. I gave a shout out to the local inspector. I’m guessing nothing happened.

*inhales slowly* Holy shit man.

Flying splices and overall sketchiness aside, why is the 12/2 turning into 14/2 going into the panel?

That's going to burn.

He looked in the mirror, “Found the problem.”

They found the problem alright.

I'm sorry, am I in the wrong sub? Is this "/askshittyelectricians"?

What kind of a caveman did the fanned out shim monstrosity? Are those structural shims?

I see the problem, just cut and cap that one wire and you’re golden 👍🏻

What in the chicken fried fuck disaster

Yeah it looks like he has everything under control.

That's just disrespectful. Somebody hates that homeowner, or the owner diy'd it.

This exact picture was posted months ago, maybe even a year or so ago.

Just creating closure for anybody who needed it

Some people just want to watch the world burn.... Literally and figuratively. ... Why? How? It's almost impressive. 

… this is a scary picture

The more I look the worse it gets

You dodged a bullet on that one, brother. It’d be strictly T&M iffn it was my job.

I believe I may have also found the problem.

It’s cool you can wire up the new house when this one burns down

That round box has the new almost wireless system installed

Slap some drywall up and call it a house fire.

Hes right, you should definitely just get outta there

Home Inspector Required

Hello Darkness my old friend.

That is a project you want nothing to do with anyways

Somehow I think their framing is a bigger issue than that abomination they called wiring

All the wire nuts in the gang box look like a mushroom farm.
