OT Elon Musk's Business Partner Says A Real Jurassic Park Can Be Done

Isn't the earth only 6,000 years old?

 

Kyrie is that you?

 

When I was a home inspector (25 years), a cool Realtor who's family owned a 100 plus year restaurant/tavern told me a story about an electrician that got blown across the kitchen tables when he assumed he was safe. No matter what the situation a breaker lock is needed. At least he could have duct taped to the panel door and wrote a warning.

I was inspecting a vacant house once and when all the lights were turned on, a burning smell sifted through the air from the pan. The house was built in the mid sixties so Aluminum wire was used. That material is incompatible with the ground buss. I cut off the main and we called the fire department, sellers agent and so forth. That was scary.

I inspected a bookstore in Princeton, in the summer and used a laser temp gun on the breakers after I felt a hotter than usual 220V circuit with my right hand through my rubber glove. It was 20 degrees hotter than the surrounding breakers. Sometimes breakers cannot trip and that is really concerning. We, as ASHI inspectors never touched breakers or interior pans with our left hand/glove as that is a passageway direct to your heart.

In a townhouse, built in the mid 60's, I opened an old Murray panel. The guy who installed the wiring never installed them to workmanlike standards as per IEC. How on earth did that pass the final CA? It looked like spaghetti squashed in a metal pan.

The houses I inspected in inner cities always had my alert sense on higher ground. A lot of stupid people thought they knew what they were doing. Recently, in my role as housing, fire and building inspector for a small borough in South Jersey, I found telephone cable energizing an outlet, behind a baseboard radiator. It was probably tapped off an over wired junction box.. They do not get an approval without a NJ licensed electricians' invoice.
Behold,,,, Stupid insane people exist.

 

Yours is bigger. Winner!
