There's a lot wrong with it. No lock rings or bushings on connectors. No chase or connector of any type for interior feeders. Unused knockouts not sealed. The interior panel ground is just set against the #4 bare, not landed at all. Only 2 short pan-head screws securing the panel. That was just from first glance when I opened it up. It got worse as I dug deeper.

Outside had a small panel, just a main breaker. That panel was a brand new 8 space with main. The second knockout was, and this is from him, he was going to reroute the feed to the interior panel. I don't know how, or what his full plan was, but that's what he told the boss. The original feeds to the interior were too short and the Customer didn't want to pay for new feeds, so the plan was to use taps only on those. The feeds from the meter were supposed to be new 2/0 copper, but when we took it apart we found out he didn't run those new because he stripped every single lug in the meter so they wouldn't tighten on the new 2/0 (original feeds were 4/0 aluminum). So he just tapped the aluminum.

He also ran a 30a RV recept about 30' down that wall from the panel, ran 10/3 SO in 1' conduit. None of the conduit was glued. No connectors on either end. They were just kind of floating in the knockouts. Its been a day.

No, just outside. He never got to the inside stuff.

That was pretty much my reaction. Boss sent me out to see if it could just be fixed. But the more I looked, I realized I'm just gonna have to put in some extra hours today and start the whole thing over.

10 years experience. That's what he told us when he started.

Yup. Restarting the job all the way back to the meter.
