I don’t know who this Thomas is but he needs to have his fingers duct taped together.
I sent this to my boy who is a journeyman electrician and he said it was a fire waiting to happen.
It looks to me like there is enough extra wire and junction boxes there to wire a two bedroom house.
When I stopped the video and started counting, I see at least 16 freaking junction boxes!
That right there is what ‘seasoned’ (cough) professionals in the business call a “Spaghetti Factory”.
And, yes, it’s a fire on the countdown clock to ignition.
Sheesh
When “I know a guy” goes wrong.
Sumbitch. I’ve never run across high voltage wiring that bad. Lots of horribly disorganized low voltage cabling in the wiring closets and computer rooms of retail stores and office buildings back in the day when I used to do PBX installs and data cabling.
Lazy dumb shits wouldn’t remove old cabling, or would use network patch cords 2-3 times the needed length because that’s what they had with them. Saw some atrocious cable management messes. This video is something else,.though. 100% of that shit needs to come out and be redone correctly.
Ever tried to figure put an old mine-company home with knob-n-tube, fabric, and romex all wired hot and with pennies in the fuse box?
It’s all great until the sawdust in the walls catches fire…
