Go have lunch and a couple beers 🍺

Going to retire in a few more years, and go fishing.

Here we go again.....ass clown plumber calls for his "final" inspection....plumbing inspector comes and runs the hot water in kitchen sink to test for max temperature...its ok.....then down to the basement to check on things......all that water he ran for test is now all over the basement floor.....sink drain was NEVER CONNECTED!
Of course it failed inspection.......but should have been noticed by inspector on rough inspection...so he's pissed...and embarrassed.

Why let the electrician off the hook too? going to suck when they want to finish the basement.

You aren't kidding
I have seen many examples of electrical bloopers

Yeah ...but it's not likely to fail an inspection or cause extensive damage.

Most of these basements, when finished, will have a dropped ceiling anyway.....and those wires would be simple to move if needed.



The electricians do have their problems though....I gave them the nickname "The Keystone Cops" because of all the chaos and confusion they create for themselves, while blaming each other and their boss for being idiots.

Looks like the pipe was there when the box was foamed....
Probably a test plug in at the kitchen on rough in...

I've seen many, many subcontractors go down the toilet because as they get more work, they get overwhelmed and hire more incompetent, untrained, and unsupervised help.



This particular plumber has all recent voke tech kids, drops them at the job and leaves.......nothing against the young guys learning the trade....but the boss is a half-assed plumber to begin with...so they are learning from a hack.. He is also a plumbing inspector in a local town.

What a shame!
They’ll end up thinking all contractors are slugs and maybe miss out on a good career.....
