Good or stupid?

[nehog]

Ran across this picture and had to wonder whether it was stupid, or really great work?

 

[David Paul]

Looks like a subway transit map.......silly.

 

[awdblazer]

takes pride in his work yes

 

[SARG]

I'll go with great work.

Looks like you are a fellow Redditor as well as a Garage Journal member.

 

[zmaxmotorsports]

We cant run exposed romex like that here,but if we could I hope I could do it that nice!

 

[Cypherian]

Very clean work.

 

[edsauto]

That is very nice work, no matter if paid by the hour or paid by the job.

Nice job, it is refreshing to see awesome work.

On the other side, it sure is nice to have that kind of time to do your job.

They should have cleaned up the jumper from the two boxes at the bottom right.


Nice work.


Dan.....

 

[zmaxmotorsports]

Got any pictures of the inside of the panels?

Looks like you are a fellow Redditor as well as a Garage Journal member.

Well... Yea, I do seem to have too much time on my hands!

I would say that picture was taken in Canukistan, they have different rules then the NEC and one is that the main breaker is isolated from the distribution section of the panel & no branch circuits can pass through that section, which is why you will see the branch circuits run from the side of the panel & even see them mounted sideways which is really hack work in the US because it's prohibited by the NEC .

 

[kd3pc]

great work, used to see stuff like that all the time, quality work - that is.

now, not so much.

 

[wyliesdiesels]

Thats GREAT work! Quality craftsmenship....U only see that in expensive high end custom homes...

 

[alfredeneuman]

He probably working hourly, took his time, and it shows in the nice work.

He is the version of this guy from New Jersey.

These pictures bring a whole new depth of meaning to OCD

 

[wyliesdiesels]

I think those are the same pics Norcal posted awhile back!

 

[NUTTSGT]

I'm going with nice work.

It's either a proud homeowner/DIYer or a professional that takes pride in their work. How many times have we seen guys talk about shoddy work by contractors ? Now, we see a picture of nice work and we're going to bash that too ?

 

[Lassen Forge]

THAT is really pretty... looks like some of the old knob-and-tube standard I've seen in old houses... or some of the (especially older) commercial building work I've seen...

I don't think it's OCD, it shows professionalism and someone who takes a lot of pride in his work. Plus - it makes chasing circuits easy peasy...

 

[BFBOB]

Clearly done by ex-Navy or maybe current Navy. Ever seen the conduit runs on a battleship??

 

[jgorm]

Way cool!

 

[SD396]

That's awesome, love it.

Here.To make Norcal feel better,my work from back in the day when I still ran miles of conduit!
Well atleast back 2010/11.

 

[raddksn]

That IS some nice work no doubt! But I do that with conduit!

 

[dlcwent]

Strouty needs this guy at his shop for a couple of weeks.

 

[trainer]

Kinda OCD.
Here exposed romex is allowed as long as it is a certain distance above the floor. The two outlets on the bottom left probably would not pass because the exposed cable is too low. They should have used conduit or ******* on those.

 

[hh76]

Looks nice, but silly to me. I would have tried to minimize the real estate used up, and would worry about all that exposed cable.

A far better, more professional look would have been to fur out the wall, and recess the box and cable.

 

[canbug]

I honestly wish my work looked that good.
Tim.

 

[sberry]

Its great, mine don't look like that, no one wants to pay but on some of the big installs there is no better way of doing it, Being neat is a bonus.

 

[Criss]

High standards, quality work for sure.

 

[ForceFed70]

Quality work. A little silly and a bit of a waste, but certainly looks nice and won't hurt anything. Essentially all he's done is moved the mess up into the raceway where it's out of view.

 

[wyliesdiesels]

Im curious how many man hours goes into planning and how many for installing NM-b in this way....

 

[DekeT]

Well I think it's both silly and awesome work. Maybe the guy is an artist and just making a statement.

 

[raddksn]

Something like this might have worked also

 

[jrsulo]

Nice !!!!!!!!
