This closet was constructed by a contractor that was flipping this home.
No problem we do it all the time! On top of the lack of access for the panel, every receptacle had these old, multi-tap outlets installed, half of them had issues; bad grounds (go figure!), reversed polarity You should of seen the crawlspace!

I had one recenly that was a similar issue, contractor flipping a double wide. I had 3 breakers just fall out when I opened the panel cover. The contractor was there and asked if it was a problem and should he should fix that. Un-freakin believable!

I love that some contractors think that most home inspectors are stupid, he was one of them. I think that with my 3 page defect summary, he was humbled some. |

I love it. Not to try and top this, but the closet topic brings up another house I inspected. The two places you are not allowed to have an electrical panel(over current protection) is a closet and a bathroom. I found a subpanel in a bathroom closet.

Many old manufactured homes have the service equipment in a bedroom closet. Just saw it this morning. It had been replaced in 1994 and had the sparky sticker on the cover!

Looking forward to seeing you tomorrow night .... that Dietrich guy always seems to have "plans" on meeting nights! NOTE* the speaker for tomorrow has changed. A scheduling conflict prevents Mr Benson from giving an electrical presentation but, we where able to book Mike Samartina to give a presentation on Solar Panels and general contractor safety issues. So the show will go on! Don't forget someone will walk away with a FREE year membership to InterNACHI tomorrow night!
