Is the guy who built your gazebo really a good electrician if he thinks you have a bad breaker when it was actually him tripping?

Homeowner: The guy who constructed my new gazebo mentioned that I have a faulty breaker since it keeps tripping.
Me: So, the problem was actually with the person who built your gazebo… Do you think he has feelings for you?
Homeowner: I believed he did.
So sad! And the person who did that… votes!
Attempted murder by Larson…. jk 😅
When you choose the lowest bid haha
Sure thing!
But in this situation, even free is too much.
How is it possible for someone to have done this? It’s even more concerning knowing that they were paid for it.
Can you believe it? He’s completely out of lamp sockets!
Wow. That’s not even close to being good carpentry, and it could have caused a fire.
Breaker rescued the man from a burning building
SMH
Someone should really take away that guy’s tools – he’s better off flipping burgers.
I wouldn’t even feel comfortable with him handling my burger
I completely agree
He should be in a mental institution lol
It’s absolutely ridiculous to think that anyone could consider this acceptable. If I were intentionally trying to create something as a demonstration of what not to do, I’m quite sure it wouldn’t be this terrible.
How in the world did that happen????
That definitely belongs on the mishap list.
I think it’ll be okay, it’s not going to collapse
That level of incompetence goes beyond negligence and into criminal territory.
Seriously.. I don’t think I’ve seen anything worse, except maybe in trailers on abandoned property
Or maybe…just consider this for a moment. He’s hallucinating like crazy!
If this was discovered, what else might be lurking that he did incorrectly?
I inquired about it… That was the situation.
I may not be an electrician, but I enjoy doing my own work not just to save money, but because I love it. When I was younger, I remodeled my bathroom and my mother’s friend, who is an Electrician for the state, commended me on my work after inspecting it. If I encounter something unfamiliar, I research it until I grasp it and it makes sense, haha.
That might be the issue 😕
I’ve actually said similar things to customers before. Turns out, it was the customer themselves, their deceased father, their partner, or someone else. I might say something like, who in their right mind would do this, or whoever did this should face the consequences, you catch my drift. Just a word of caution – avoid doing that! 😂
Uy A Coombs I always make sure to ask ‘who did it?’ before cracking my jokes..👍🏼😂
You know, the problem is, I’m not even kidding! 😅 And then you end up putting your foot right in your mouth! 😂🤣
Uy A Coombs He specifically mentioned (guy) not a member of the family
What on earth is that in the meth house?
This situation might lead to a lawsuit!!!
The only thing you’re gonna find there is probably just some underwear 🩲 and they most likely don’t have insurance or anything else.
Trey Hillhouse 😂
Cool, you also have a convenient outlet that showcases experience 👍🏻💪🏻. Sign that man up, pro!
Classic move with the old screw right through the light trick 😂
Yet another job done without permission. But hey, at least it was cheap!
Look who’s here, Santa with his jolly laugh
You misspelled “Fire dept.” lol 😂
Haha, it’s hidden in the cracks 😅😂
We’re definitely going to need some photos of the patio he constructed.
The patio looks pretty good from the outside, but I wouldn’t trust him to paint my dog house, let alone work on my houses.

Hey, feel free to correct me if I’m mistaken, but it seems like some of that was done on purpose, right?
I inquired with the homeowner if the guy was a fan of his… He replied, ‘I thought he was.’
Oh no, it doesn’t have any gas in it!!!
I’m telling you, a journeyman electrician would never do an installation like this, no matter what anyone says!
I completely agree!
Clearly a Trump supporter.
I don’t believe that for a second!
You can call it whatever you want, but it definitely happened. 👍🏼😂
Maintenance around here is really tough.
I may not be a licensed electrician, but I do know how to install the right socket after 3 years of trade school! 😒
You’re right! 👍🏼 I may not be a proctologist, but I can spot a jerk when I see one.
Oh no, this is not good…
Only one issue? You only found one?
Actually, I also discovered that he wired his switch with the hot and neutral on different legs. I’m not sure if he does drugs, but maybe he should start for a laugh 😂
Jesus Christ! 😂
Terry ibby ‘t worry, it’s pressure treated so it won’t catch fire! 🔥 🤔🔍🤣🤣
Hey, hate to break it to you, but it’s gonna catch fire. Pressure treated wood isn’t fireproof, it just stops it from rotting and keeps out moisture.
Oh, I think that might have been sarcasm!
The homeowner must have gotten 5 quotes and decided to go with the cheapest option.
That’s terrible, I’m sorry man. Luckily, it should be an easy fix.
I find it amusing that wood doesn’t conduct electricity but metal screws do. Haha
Probably should have taped it 🤷
This seems intentional. They should be sued.
Ary Marker I brought it up..
Dang, Derek Valdez is impressive

Seriously? Come on, that’s ridiculous.
The person who constructed the Hazebo didn’t even wire it properly.
Yeah, he definitely did it. He ran direct burial between the posts and joists as he was building it, and when I say in between, I mean squeezed in between each sistered joist and post that are nailed and screwed together.
Let’s talk about the gazebo
Even the worst job imaginable still says, and I quote (that’s not my job)
I feel like a $5 fixture and $3 box is not too much to ask for.
