When I was first learning a trade (mechanic) ... one of the things that i was taught was to never embarras yourself... by that he meant ..do a job that looks professional ..is neat and tidy .. dont leave it so if some one else ever works on it say's "who's the A hole who did this".. so even if there is a failure it will be because of something else happened.. not a poorly done job... I run the maintenance of a large machine shop... We do most of the work here in house.. everything. from repairs to remodel.. we have a Licenced Electrician...i am a licensed plumber and hold the waste management licenses... I do all the repairs of the machinery..unless it is a big job that can be done faster by a service tech... It never ceases to amaze me how sloppy alot of this work force is... they leave out bolts and washers... fail to tighten other bolts and screws.. bend and break sheet metal covers... and leave hand prints everywhere... I've taken down particians here that were put up by outside contractors.that had electrical connection insdie the wall... no box just two BX cables connected by wire nuts and taped.. scary!.... stories like the one you told are not all uncommon as you very well know..it's a sad statement of what our work force has become...
