rdhutch Posted April 1, 2014 Report Share Posted April 1, 2014 The first photo shows the conductors as they exit the main panel into the crawlspace. The conductors leading to the right are shown further downstream in the second photo, then lead to the grey box in the third photo. This box is laying on the surface of the crawl space. Any idea what this grey box is? I would have investigated a little more and perhaps taken better photos, but this was not a home inspection and I was invited to leave by a not so friendly copperhead who had taken up residence near the box.

AHI in AR Posted April 1, 2014 Report Share Posted April 1, 2014 My guess is that it's used as a big ol' junction box. Not exactly lovely work, is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Kogel Posted April 1, 2014 Report Share Posted April 1, 2014 Wiring on bare dirt, no, we don't do that here, not for long anyway. A big junction box installed on its back on the ground by an amateur. [:-party] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Raymond Posted April 1, 2014 Report Share Posted April 1, 2014 That mess is every bit as scary as the snake. Maybe more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Davenport Posted April 1, 2014 Report Share Posted April 1, 2014 that is a PVC junction box. I want to see the copperhead, Where's the picture of that ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trent Tarter Posted April 5, 2014 Report Share Posted April 5, 2014 Wow what a mess. As others have said the wiring and junction box should be supported off the ground. I would hate to be the rookie electrician they send in for this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
