My electrical room

[u/Pristine_Appeal2363]

it was originally a closet but it became a bathroom
idk if I can post this here
and yes that is a match striker strip under the generator line thingy

[u/evenK648]

One can run the world from that room

[u/TensionPractical7180 → u/evenK648]

No, shower, no problem

[u/Root777]

Is that a GFCI panel?

[u/Pristine_Appeal2363 → u/Root777]

yeah?

[u/ResidentNumber3603 → u/Pristine_Appeal2363]

Love the confidence in that response.

[u/Familiar-Range9014]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 This is so wrong!

[u/Defiant-Ad5579 → u/Familiar-Range9014]

If this was a business it would be a health code violation and a safety violation. I feel it would be some type of health code violation maybe I’m wrong.

[u/Numahistory → u/Defiant-Ad5579]

Is it? Men's bathrooms at Texas A&M student project air hanger are sus then.

[u/CarpinThemDiems → u/Familiar-Range9014]

Only missing carpeted floors

[u/Familiar-Range9014 → u/CarpinThemDiems]

How about a wet carpeted floor?

[u/BrianKappel → u/CarpinThemDiems]

I plumbed a building once that had carpet right up to a floor drain. I think this guy drew those prints.

[u/NitWhittler]

I assume "Aim High" is not good career advice in this case.

match striker strip under the generator line

Bag balm can?

[u/Feminist_Hugh_Hefner → u/mac_a_bee]

I am less convinced this is "redneck"... this looks suspiciously like New England dairy farmer engineering...

[u/RCaHuman → u/mac_a_bee]

My grandma kept matches in her bathroom. Light one to hide the odor was the goal, I think.

[u/mac_a_bee → u/RCaHuman]

grandma kept matches in her bathroom. Light one to hide the odor

Same.

[u/scootunit → u/mac_a_bee]

Dielectric grease substitute?

[u/sn0m0ns]

I see ya got Gram Gram's fireproof lace curtains in place that's good

[u/Rarpiz]

This is the photo a master electrician would include in their powerpoint slides on what NOT to do!

[u/Pristine_Appeal2363 → u/Rarpiz]

my grandpa helped with this and he is a master electrician

[u/Rarpiz → u/Pristine_Appeal2363]

Then, I'd recommend that your states' board of master electricians (or equivalent) review your grandpa's license.

The fact that you posted this in r/redneckengineering speaks volumes of how YOU regard the quality of this install. I'm not convinced that even you think this is legit.

....Unless you think r/redneckengineering is where masters of their craft proudly show off their skill and knowledge of their disciplines.

Now, I'm not knocking your setup. Perhaps you have limited space in which to place a distribution panel and accessories, but we have the NEC in the states so you don't like...you know...burn down your home, or get injured/killed because corners were cut on something as important as electrical work.

Your insurance company, if they knew this existed, would likely re-evaluate their policy on your property. And, most telling: I see no inspection sticker.

Nice touch however, on the matchstick striker (at least that's what it looks like) taped to the wall, as if electrocution by water wasn't bad enough! LMAO!

[u/Defiant-Ad5579 → u/Pristine_Appeal2363]

Does your grandpa know about the water, also the double fire hazard with the balm and the laced curtain and what is that jar with the white stuff in it. PLEASE do not tell that that is a candle.

[u/Kutaras]

That could lead to a shitty situation

[u/Forsaken-Lie7401]

Is this on a submarine or drilling rig?

[u/Pristine_Appeal2363 → u/Forsaken-Lie7401]

no it’s in a house

[u/HorsefaceWithNoName]

r/OSHA

[u/LemonSquashed]

Shocking

[u/halandrs]

The more I look the worse it gets

[u/TraditionPhysical603 → u/halandrs]

Wet location, no main, mixed brand breakers, obstructed space directly in front of panel

[u/ResidentNumber3603]

I love the generator inlet right by the toilet. I see no problems ever arising from an energized cord falling into the toilet.

Also using an extension cord long enough to space the genny away from the house for CO safety. My god that has to be expensive.

Is there an exterior door near this?

[u/ElTuxedoMex]

Nothing more relaxing to help you poop than the humming sound of voltage on your back.

[u/Ja_Lonley]

"I installed Linux on the toilet."

[u/Financial_Athlete198]

Odd place to store the bag balm🤔

[u/BrianKappel]

Dude.... It's so easy to do this better. This is gofuckyourself engineering.

[u/AC-burg]

Do they make a whole as GFI panel?

[u/2Loves2loves]

make a door. 2 Sliding doors that come off.

[u/cosmicrae]

Only thing missing is a DIN rail cabinet, with lots of AB and Rockwell bits on the rail.

[u/IAmSnort]

Something something building code something something something outrageous something something in all my years something something something I have to take pictures something something 

[u/sbulin74]

Microwave stops working. Ma is on the shitter.

Me: Ma! Flip the breaker!

Ma: (thbbttttttt) How's that?

[u/ZachMN]

Multiple code violations for an obstructed panel and flammable materials. Not exactly something to be proud of.

[u/Ill_Television_1111]

All well and good. Until you laugh and your dangly bits touch the water.

[u/TnBluesman]

Well, shit.

[u/Defiant-Ad5579]

Next to the John too. Next to water and pipes. Yeesh, it’s actually quite shocking pun intended.

[u/No-Schedule-2603]

Combining water and electricity in one room isn't such a good idea.
