It’s fun find Friday!!

Got called for a pool pump tripping and found this guy under the pool deck…

The previous installer had stapled it so hard the wire jacket must have been cut.

Throw in some rain and a rusty staple….and this is the outcome.

I actually found several spots like this one but this was by far the worst….

A day in the life

Working in old Florida homes can be a real…challenge

This Tesla charger had to be run from one end of the house to the other through a very narrow attic space. Old Florida homes are notorious for limited attic space…this one was about 20” high from one end to the other.

A sub panel was added due to limited spaces in the meter panel.

Fixed a switch that was sparking the home owner…pretty obvious why?!!?

All wrapped up…and on to the next one!
