TAZ,
CUTTING CORNERS CAN COST LIVES
WHEN YOU MESS WITH THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY, I TEND TO GET A LITTLE UPSET! BUDDY
We had tile work done in our kitchen and unfortunately some had to come down and be redone thus meaning taking the drywall.
This OPENED up and showed the work done.
HAHA, SUPRISE!
Wire connections open and exposed. Not in a junction box.
GFI outlet not tamper-resistant
- this was new construction (installation of Lights) after 2008 tamper-resistant Outlets have been required.
Mind you, this would be the fourth spot we had to tell him to use junction boxes.
Showed pictures to others on Facebook, being nice and not naming his company.
Everyone who responded could not believe this horrible work.
Unfreaking believable.
He told us we did not need permits and now I I'm being told we DO.
On top of it he refused to give us the invoice without doing it in person. This invoice he stated he email to my wife months ago which she didn't receive. Now that the job is coming to an end.....We went through multiple texts just asking him to email it or leave it in our mailbox. He refused and said he needed a signature...... But he didn't need a signature when he said he emailed it!?!?!?
After refusal to email or leave invoice in mailbox and seeing his hidden, CUT CORNER JOB, behind this drywall he was told he was no longer needed.
Now I need to hire another electrician to ensure all the other work he did is up to code.
God knows what else he hid behind my drywall.
Taz did ask if he could come over and fix the problem.
Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me..... Not happening a third time!
UPDATE January 22,2018
I can't even express how upset I am. Just had this work check by a real electrician.. He found
5 CODE VIOLATIONS;
No spark guards
GFI Outlet not tamper-resistant
Two wires on same screw
Kitchen wiring"line loaded"
Dead short
AND, this is all that is visible, without really digging.
I STRONGLY SUGGEST ANYONE HAVING ELECTRICAL WORK DONE HAVE IT DOUBLE CHECKED.
This is not tolerable. read more
