WHAT'S THE WORST THAT CAN HAPPEN ?
                                HANDYMAN  HORROR STORIES 
THIS WAS FOUND ON A HOUSE IN ALTMONTE SPRINGS, FLORIDA

WE COULD NOT BELIEVE FP&L PUT POWER TO THIS HOUSE
CHECK OUT HOW THEY PUT POWER TO THE A.C UNIT. THE OUTLET WAS ALL BURNED UP..
THIS WAS FOUND INSIDE THE HOUSE.
NOTICE  WHERE THE WIRES FROM THE METER ARE COMMING INTO THE PANAL.
YOU CAN BET THERE WILL BE MORE PICTURES TO COME.
Here is a fan in Daytona, Florida that was wired up with phone wire
There must have been a sale on phone wire or the same handy man worked on this house too!
This is a great one. The handyman who installed this fixture told this customer the wire he used was ok to run outside, it was speaker wire from his truck radio..
This handyman was called in to install a wall ac unit. After he installed it he found it had a 220v plug and the old unit was 110v. He taped into two feeds to pick up power and just put an outlet in with no box on the wall.
The same handyman wired up this light.
THIS ELECTRICIAN NEEDED TO INSTALL 2 SWITCHES AND THERE WAS A STUD IN THE WAY SO HE CUT THE BACK OF THE BOX TO MAKE THEM FIT!
I GUESS HE MUST WORK  FOR U.L.
SAME ELECTRICIAN INSTALLING A FIXTURE WITH NO BOX IN THE CEILING.THIS FIXTURE WAS ONLY SREWED TO DRYWALL.
THIS IS A INDOOR TRANSFER SWITCH FOR A 16 KW GENERATOR THAT WAS PUT OUTSIDE.BELIEVE IT OR NOT THIS WAS INSTALLED BY A LICENSED ELECTRICIAL CONTRACTOR WITHOUT A PERMIT.THE CUSTOMER WAS TOLD THAT HE DID NOT NEED A PERMIT AND THAT THE TRANSFER SWITCH WAS OK TO INSTALL OUTSIDE.
THE CONTRACTOR RAN ROMEX FROM THE INSIDE PANAL TO THIS TRANSFER SWITCH AND CUT ALL THE GROUNDS IN THE ROMEX
THIS CONTRACTOR  MUST HAVE NEVER INSTALLED A GENERATOR BEFORE. I GUESS HE DID NOT KNOW YOU CAN'T INSTALL A GENERATOR THIS CLOSE TO A WINDOW .IF SOMEONE OPENS THIS WINDOW AND THIS GENERATOR TURNS ON, IT WILL KILL EVERYONE INSIDE.
THIS CONTRACTOR TOOK THIS CUSTOMERS MONEY AND RAN. I CALLED HIM  ABOUT THIS INSTALL AND HE WOULD NOT RETURN MY CALLS.
