To verify your stud detector works you must point it to your self, make a beeping sound, turn to your significant other and tell them “I’m a stud”
I bought one, put up to my dads back, let it beep, and said to him “i think its defective” 🤪
This is some environmental storytelling right here. I see a story of an electrician, all out of appropriate lengths of wood, working past five on the night before the drywallers show up.
That can’t possibly be an actual electrician’s work, can it? That’s got to be the work of a homeowner who didn’t know the correct way to locate an outlet in the middle of a stud bay.
Nah, it’s been awhile, but I’ve been an electrician. When you get a foreman who has made it to that special level of asshole, your give a fuck starts to run out incredibly fast. Even if you’re not the kind of guy who would do this yourself, someone working with you probably is.
With that said, I don’t think this would pass code, but I’m honestly curious as to which part it violates specifically. The wire doesn’t look like it’s secured properly at least, but this might be one of those things where this is where they learn that they need to write some new passages.
It’s up to code until the inspector finds it. And if there’s drywall, they’re not finding it
This is the explanation for why we can’t have nice things
Supply side economics until we all die.
What a Lemmy moment.
“Shoddy work? This is the fault of capitalism!”
It’s okay, they’re using that special load-bearing drywall.
