Here I spent an entire weekend wiring up basement lighting to a
house my parents have with
conduit. Bx (AC) is against code in that town for lenghts over three feet and enclosed and I wouldn't use it anyway. A few weeks later a licenced electrician working on the floor above kitchen comes in, for a day and adds to in tying off my work in the basement in feeding the kitchen with
romex. Like running an extension
cord as opposed to doing
conduit around pipes and joists. I could see using it especially in not inturrupting walls as much but support of it I'm not so sure of without inturrupting walls. Not that I ain't done it before in running my own. Still I spent hours with
conduit and got frustraited in seeing the
Romex used in a place that's exposed but might not qualify for a primary exposure given its a basement.
Still:
Fugley yes which is against code in a done in a professional manner type of thing. But other than the various
dimmer boxes mounted to the walls, for a 28 day wonder “temporary install,” for entertainment purposes in a place of assembly, other than for it other than done in a proper workmen like way failing in a big way, and the dimmers I can’t see anything really wrong with it beyond being very wrong in a good workmenship type of thing.
From my observation, there is a
company switch which I assumed is fused or elsewhere breakered. This is possibly feeding the “temporary sub-panel” which assuming
strain relief is feeding as a temporary
power source itself various temporary patch in products.
Know I’m going to catch a lot of heat for this and I don’t like what I see either but if of “temporary install” which this sub panel could as a source to temporary install stuff into off the
switch panel might qualify for, it could be a loop hole in tying directly into.
Now everything else on the walls
etc, they are of question, noope the
outlet box below, nor the swtich,
dimmer and switches legit or up to code. All them brackets to hold the
wire, nope they don’t qualify either but for the building itself, given sub-panel as a means to tie into temporary...
Na, scrap all that, remember something about extension cords not tying directly into the
breaker, much less rules about means of
disconnect by way of
plug within arms reach of the
power source which the panel might be argued being but by no way did the
NEC intend cords directly terminating into a
breaker panel without
disconnect by way of
plug. Plus all them cable straps mean you get one show, if after the next show the cable is still in the same place, than you get your write up.
Switch especially at an angle is a write up
etc.
Than after all that, we verify the flame treating certification of the un-treated lumber shown on set.
Boy that’s a mess. In some small way it might be within some concept of a temporary install but in no way does this seem temporary, much less it’s not done very skillfully. Bye bye on closing down the place if my choice.
If its
romex instead of cables than it's a big mess that's not professionally run thus never inspected or permitted.
