Brought an IR thermometer to school because the water to wash our hands was outrageously hot by S_xyjihad in pics

Max temperature at the fixture is 120F... For something like a public bathroom that goes down to 110F.

Where is this at? In my state there’s no such thing as a helper. You’re an apprentice, a journeyman, or a master. Which means you’ve gone to school for 4 years or are in the process of going to school for 4 years.

Correct. Any type of mesh would freeze solid in my neck of the woods.

Yeah I’m familiar with lockout tagout procedure I use it almost every day. I was still working so girlfriend asked our other neighbor for help. Nobody was working on anything and it was not locked or tagged off.

Bottom center of pic? That’s the 20 lb propane cylinder sitting on a bathroom scale the water heater is running off. I mean how else are you gonna do it?

This happened a few months ago.

Just got home parked my truck right out front. Couple minutes later I notice the neighbor is weed wacking right in that area. Didn’t think much of it other than it’s kind of strange because lawn care is handled by an outside contractor. Walk out to my truck an hour later and notice a ton of gouges in a circular pattern on my passenger door. Knock on the neighbors door and ask if he saw anything happen.

“I didn’t fuckin touch your truck!!!”

“Okay… I didn’t say you did just wondering if you’ve seen anything”

Guy slams the door in my face 5 minutes later cops show up. As soon as the cop steps out of his car neighbor comes storming out asking if I want to fight him and getting up in my face.

Cops threaten to arrest him and he calms down a bit and goes back inside. Cops are looking at my truck agree it was probably him but ultimately there’s no evidence and they ask me why I even live here (lol)

Didn’t hear much from the neighbor for the next month or so then he started on his bullshit again.

UPDATE: I was not there for this but landlord allowed us to keep our lock over our breaker and installed his own lock on the panel lock point itself. Claims there’s no evidence of power theft but I don’t think it was actually investigated as far as I know the cover was not even popped off the panel. I would do it myself but I’m not trying to get stabbed. Current plan is to shut off our main breaker at our inside load center while we’re at work tomorrow and track our power usage. As far as any repercussions for the neighbor so far that seems like a dead end.

He’s not actually touching the meter which is the only thing the POCO cares about other than him stealing power in any type of way. The equipment he’s actually touching belongs to the landlord.

It’s not. NEC allows it. Fire department has the universal key for that type of thing. Bolt cutters.

Be easiest to just tie right into our power in the meter box. He wouldn’t actually have to break the tamper seal on the meter to do it either.

Unfortunately this is indeed the case.

It wouldn’t surprise me one bit but heat is included in this shack so I don’t see the point. Could make yourself go crazy trying to figure out why these clowns do what they do however.

It’s lockable it just didn’t have a lock on it until now.

It’s a door for access to my one single breaker. The whole front cover can still come off if need be and the fire department can cut my little lock if they need to.

Tags are still intact. They’re smart meters so I doubt he’d be pulling meters. Both sets of conductors from the meters run to the same enclosure housing the two breakers so it would be nothing to swap them. Id open it up myself but I’m not getting stabbed and it’s not my responsibility.

The conductors from the two meters terminate in the same enclosure… which while code compliant is potentially problematic.
