Do you think I would post these pictures here if I did this?

This was installed by a guy at work. An "electrician of 9 years."

I roughed in the slab.

You can always use those white pipes if you miss a stub up or two.

Just set up a photobucket account or something similar. I did it and I'm a computer illiterate. So if I can do it, you can do it!

Are those off sets out of the wall?? Did the tubs come with precut holes or did he lay it out that way? The off set don't even match!!! I hope someones going to fix this if the pipes are out the wall.

I don't think anyone other than a few people on this forum are going to care the slightest bit that the offsets don't match. It's not the greatest workmanship but in the grand scheme of things I don't think it's much to worry about.

No, that's in the wall and it's all closed up now.

If only I had pics of the whole job...

The guy that did this is a tard and won't be with us after this one is over.

I roughed in the slab, THATS IT

The offsets aren't the problem, it's the 4" piece of conduit at the panel AND the offsets don't match.

You'r the first person I've ever heard call a panel can a tub. It must be a regional thing I guess.

Why would you need a pull line for the 2" nipples between the 3 panels on picture number 3?

Besides the disco being more crooked than Madoff, is it possible the ground is temporary?

Maybe he is a phone guy. I think that is where he tied the strings that are in other conduits.

I got a nickel that says that's the ends of the lines pulled into the pipes tied off through the nipples.

I don't think this defines the word hack. Now if the guy made the offsets with a fat chick's legs or nippled in small chunks of flex, then maybe you can use the word "hack".

That has the look of someone not caring what their work looks like.
