Electrical work is one of the most tedious blue collar jobs. One twisted wire, or poorly placed breaker, could lead to a catastrophic turn of events. But there are some electrical fails that even a beginner could point out, and those are the fails on this list. Here are 20 electrician fails that definitely should have been avoided.
1. They’re never going to notice it.
2. We hope this all works out.
3. If your electrician leaves your fuse box looking like this, you need a new one.
4. Somehow we landed all the neutrals on the wrong bus, and failed inspection.
5. Hey, at least you can still flip the switch.
6. Sparky must have done this wire work.
7. Supposedly this job caused a fire in the house, I wonder why.
8. At least the light still works.
9. Honestly, power lines coming from the ceiling adds to the indie feel of this cafe.
10. At least they have a doorbell.
11. Everything seems to be going well.
12. We don’t think those are supposed to be exposed.
13. We’re not sure if we should call it an electrical fail, or a plumbing fail, but it deserves to be here.
14. We’re sure he knows what he’s doing.
15. Just cut a hole for that light it’ll be fine.
16. Hey, as long as I can charge my phone I don’t care how sketchy it is.
17. No conduit, no problem.
18. There’s so many things wrong here, but the damaged cable jackets take the cake.
19. Copper and aluminum in the same terminal is a big no no.
20. How many conductors can we get to fit through one connector?
