How well did I perform while running this conduit?

Just finished installing this conduit… what do you think of my work?
Are you kidding me?
Doesn’t it require straps every 3 feet?
Those are just ideas, nobody really follows it. It’s too much and a waste of beer cash.
Oogle and both preferred it that way. Some people are just lazy I guess.
🤷♂️
Every 9 feet by code and within 3 feet of box or point of connection
Nah
Nah
Can’t believe it’s just 3 feet! Where are you guys located?
Haha, that’s the code for you! 😆
The requirement is 10 feet for securing, but since most EMT sticks are 10 feet, you’ll often see them secured at 9 feet.
Double-check the code for pipe placement.
Make sure to keep the conduit 3 feet away from the panel, then every 10 feet after that.
358.30 SECURIN & SUPPORTIN
Remember to secure your conduit within 3 feet of any box, panel, or termination point for that conduit run. Simply run your conduit up from your panel or box, strap it within 3 feet of the panel, and then every 10 feet beyond that.
Didn’t I mention that earlier?? Strange
Yeah but you missed mentioning the box and end point for the conduit run. It’s an easy detail to overlook lol

You should have taken some time off
The term ‘hack ladder’ speaks volumes
Keep it up! I bet your folks are thrilled. You should totally share this on your company’s website so everyone can admire your fantastic work. It wouldn’t hurt to take out a full-page ad in all the local papers, featuring this photo of you and your masterpiece.
That appears satisfactory…

Do you work as a plumber?
Can you see the straps anywhere?
I love the strapless look on a woman, but not a fan of it on men, it’s just not my style.
You did a great job, it’s one of a kind 😌
Can you also put in downspouts?
Is the LB facing up so you can’t reach? Are there straps, just not every 3 feet as suggested? Is the box somehow floating??
Nah, just messing with you. Keep being yourself and you’ll work your way up to being an apprentice. There’s a handy book called the National Electric Code that might help you out… The handbook version even has some visuals.
You totally nailed it with this conduit. reat job!
You outperformed the sheet metal workers! reat job! 🏆✌️
Whoa, who messed with the downspout? As an Electrician, I can confirm that it should go under the sidewalk.
Oh no…. It won’t pass the state inspection.
Just kidding around. I came here for a job and stumbled upon this.
Impressing us with your saddle abilities, young grasshopper!
It doesn’t matter who cares
It must’ve been quite a challenge to pull that off without using any fasteners at all lmaooo
I’ve never noticed gutters hanging down from the second floor like that. Must be in a northern area.
I’ve never seen that kind of thing around here, maybe it’s just out west.
Has to be then haha
A bit unusual up here
California is ridiculous.
The gutters used to lead into a failed drainage system. The pipe that was abandoned is still under the downspouts on the pathway. If the drainpipe is blocked or faulty, the water would flow down next to the old foundation and seep into the basement. Putting a temporary fix over the walkway is just a quick solution until the owner can find the time or money to fix the drainage area.
Yeah I know what you mean. I work with molds for a living. Just never seen it done like that before.
Must be a southern thing.
Like I mentioned earlier, must be a trend common in the northern regions.
Classic wooden gutters integrated into the house with a copper lining. Have repaired a couple in properties constructed over 150 years ago.
Wow, iovanni Rados! Where is this?
Haha, 😂
Nah, I’m currently in California so it must be located somewhere out east.
Screw those drains
I’d love to help, but there’s too much steel and I might end up cutting myself.
Reat job working with that ladder live!
Why was the junction box necessary? An LL fitting would have been a cleaner option for a pull point and would also be easily accessible that way. It should be supported up to a maximum of 5 feet, but 3 is a good rule of thumb.
Absolutely correct
I just installed my conduit in your mom’s place! But really, who even cares?! Maybe your dad does, I don’t know
The plumber can repair his work while your work is excellent
It’s awesome once more 👍
Maybe consider putting up a trellis to cover it? It is what it is.
Take a break for 2 weeks and then resign
You outperformed the gutter guy!
What’s the deal with that Shepherds Hook wrapped around the eave?
I would have tangled with it
I noticed the downspout situation where the original drains were placed next to the house. In certain places, it’s not allowed for clean rainwater to enter the sewer system and go to the sewage treatment plant. This is because they don’t want to treat clean water and it also dilutes the sewage cleaning chemicals. The downside is that towns no longer receive free sewer line cleanings from nature, so clogs happen more frequently with less water, resulting in the need to pay for sewer sucking trucks.
It’s all good for the time being.
Do we need straps and why did Judy put the box below the roof? Is there another circuit coming in the back of it?
Average at most
It looks amazing from my place
Haha love the joke dude :3
At least every 10 feet for support from emts
I mean, you did run it…..
You’ve been let go
There is nothing right about it, absolutely nothing……
Can you please rephrase the following text to be slightly different, but still convey the same meaning? Thank you.
I heard that every success starts with making the decision to give it a shot. Ignorance can hold us back from so many great opportunities, but I’m grateful to have been inspired by the right person. Thanks, Adz Louis!
I will never understand why someone would ask about their performance on a task 🤦🏻♂️
What a mess
Now that’s a David Copperfield special just hovering in mid air like that 😱
Unsuccessful
