This PASSED a city building inspection!

Minecraft Video -> Computerfile -> AntsCanada -> This video Weird youtube recommendations, but this video is cool.

I would sue the gentleman who did that horrific job for endangering people.

IDK Why this video was recommended to me by youtube, but, that was incredibly generous of you to teach those men how to properly do the job, incredibly respectable.

I am a retired electrician with over 50 years in the trade, and I have never seen so much NEC violation in one home as you've shown! And that general needs to have his license revoked or at the least suspended. His job is to check and make sure all subs are licensed. When it comes to electricity, you don't take dangerous short cuts, use untrained help without having a journey man to check the work. That is a scary house to live in. And the local code enforcement needs to be reprimanded for their passing of such dangerous work! Appreciate you uploading and sharing this with the general public to see.

Teaching the men instead of blaming them is a very good ending to this story on you part. Well done!

I have no electrical background, but I do know that this is beyond insane. I hope you continue to have good work on your horizon. I watch alot of random videos on youtube and this has perhaps been the most informative video without directly meaning too. You seem very educated, skilled, and serious about your work/passion.

My brother died in a house fire because of this very same thing. Exposed wire junction in the attic that passed city inspection.

this video should go viral just to show people they need to be careful with who they hire.

I am no electrician, but just looking at those pictures made me think that this shouldn't be done like that.

I have been an electrical contractor for over 40 years and I have seen some bad work(usually DIYers) but never anything this widespread. That was an accident waiting to happen.

I wouldn't even pass my first year at college with these kind of shoddy installations holy shit

Teaching them how to do it: million and one points for you, that was awesome way to handle that problem. Many would've just mocked them when it is the employer who needs to make sure their workers know their stuff.

I was an Electrical Inspector in Oregon after working many years as a General Journeyman, and have been retired since 2004. Generally, in Oregon we tried to feed the power to a lighting circuit in at the switch and run the legs up to the various fixtures. We tried to start outlet circuits near the panel and run through the wall, around the house. I avoided putting hot wires in the attic if I could, knowing that if anything went wrong, I might have to get up there to fix it. Generally speaking, lots of California trained Electricians fed the power to the fixture and the switch leg went down to the box containing the switch. I didn't last long as an Inspector because of what I saw going on.

WTF this is insane. How can someone seriously cut a rafter like that and not think twice.

Sometimes it really is worth it to click those recommended videos on topics you've never looked into before. Get hidden gems like this!

You can't ground from wood? Don't be ridiculous. Almost all wood comes from trees and trees mostly grow out of the ground. It's only common sense that you can use wood as a ground. Though I will admit there are better alternatives. Like a small pile of dirt packed into the junction boxes then just make sure your ground wire is in contact with the dirt. Also a tip for better grounding mix some water in to make it mud. It packs better and as long as you water your receptacles every now and then your good to go.

Sir I really like the fact the you helped the guys showing them the correct way, as a former inspector I would find many unsafe projects and would do the same as you did. They won't ever forget that.....

Absolutely unbelievable! I’m a retired electrician after 40 years and I have seen some real nightmares, but never have I seen anything like this. This is downright criminal in my opinion.

This video is further proof that I'll literally watch anything on YouTube

The "buddy system" was in effect in this picture. The general contractor and inspector were buddies... The inspector asked the general if an electrician had done the work, and the general said "sure" so, without looking at anything, the inspector signed off. It is obvious from these pictures that no licensed electrician did the work, and no actual inspection ever took place.
