An ungrounded..ground

[William C. Martin]

Apparently this guy was taught that you can ground a circuit against a water line. Guess he doesn't understand what qualifies as a proper ground contuctor.

funny and scary

I agree. Both funny and even more scary!!!

Not only would that be an illegal and improper ground, even if the pipe we copper and grounded, the fact that someone actually attached a ground wire to a plastic pipe is so scary it should be criminal!

[Christopher Currins]

I would like to see the rest, from the main to the circuits.

I would pay to be there when the (supposedly) Electrician installed that GEC.

I just want to ask him/her what the hell they are doing....

That would be funny if it wasn't so damned dangerous, how stupid do people have to get to proove Darwin right.

Trust me....no REAL " Electrician " would do that and I am not talking about the "Grandfathered" electricians or the "unlicensed" states electricians but real electricians who ACTUALLY took standardized TESTS and SCHOOLING....

[tdietrich1]

I'm with Paul. I've run into people who too many times describe themselves with 'titles' or vague descriptions.

Anyone can call themselves and electrician, simply because they work with electricity. Look, I flip a switch, I work with electricity. Lights on, lights off, lights on.... I am a electricity master, so I'm a master electrician.

We run into this often. Computer specialists who actually only work a cash register. How about union mechanics at a car factory who never fixed a car ever. etc,etc,etc.

But seriously, rely on the NEC's official definition of an electrician. I think it's before the Romex section, after the BX section.

I've been saying recently that Darwin's "Theory of Evolution" is being proven wrong everyday. The stupid are not being weeded out and are freely reproducing! Q.E.D. (Quad erat demonstratum: That which was to be proved)

And they are the ones writing more and more codes that help protect stupid people, and so on, and so on,...........
