What is wrong with this picture??

[Joe Farsetta]

Why did William say it has a lot to be desired?

Joe,

Improper weatherhead height, missing GFCI's at wet area outlets, exposed wires, damaged outlet - just to name a few. All the did was change the box for insurance.

I believe there is a problem in this photo. Can anyone tell me what it is? It's entirely possible that I will be diasagreed with, but IMO this is dangerous.

You mean other than the LPG stored indoors?

Yes, it is dangerous to have a panel cover off.

It's okay to store LP gas indoors, but the cylinder needs restrained, such as with a chain. The area within 18" of the ceiling needs wired with Class 1, Division 2 wiring methods (hazardous location). It would be better if they put the propane bottle on the back porch or in a shed.

William,

Maybe I'm missing something with regard to your reply. You stated things that were not seen in the photo you asked our opinion of.

Marc LPG tanks in a dwelling is never allowed around here.... but I bet it happens ... and why would the ceiling be a classified area.
Propane is heavier than air.

Guess I got it mixed up with CNG. CNG rises, LPG falls.

nor is it allowed to be stored indoors at ANY building here. It can be used to power indoor equipment, but bottles not in use must be stored outdoors.

The fact that LPG is heavier than air is the reason most small boats use alcohol stoves, a bilge full of explosive gas could ruin your day.
