Knoxville Utility Board. A behemoth of a bureaucracy.
Awesome Wade! That looks like a bunch of fun!
Thanks. It will be a lot of work and time.
I spent 2 hours looking for my LED, battery powered light. Went through boxes twice. Set up shelves so I could empty boxes.
Found it. Under the table by the door as I walk in. My son was so efficient.

Yeah, I have to live somewhere with a real winter so it kills everything off once a year.
Something is really wrong with this picture. How many errors can you find?
Go.
Go.
you let us know when you get done . keep a sheet list of them . 
5 real quick
Big spiders are very scary,but the second worse thing is walking thru a web that has 53 billion freshly hatched "spider-lings" about the size of a pin head ,that you'll feel crawling on and into every orifice of your person..
I spent like a half hour in the shower a few days ago after doing just that...all night long in bed I felt like things were crawling on me,going in my ears---
...
Ticks suck too--literally..been bitten twice this year already by them,once in March and again in May..
That outlet ,am I seeing things,or is the green ground wire on the brass screw ?...
..HTF did that ever work ?..

That was my question. If it worked, then there are probably more problems than this 1 place.That outlet ,am I seeing things,or is the green ground wire on the brass screw ?...
All over. I am getting the new panels done then the inspector will do a walk through with me as a courtesy. Figure it out then.
Drywall screws into cinder block!! YES!
I'm no electrician but gezz the ****.

pvc into metal box with the green wire used as a hot is always nice.....if it's that way on the switch, then it must be the same on the other end of what ever it connected to....
or not.... always a mystery when following up on someone else's work...

I wish I took a picture of the panel.
Spent the day in the attack chasing wires. Found 3 runs that went to nothing. Finally found the feed for the lights. But only the line wire. Common is connected somewhere, but not at the panel.????? Wires were wound together with tape over them.
I have not sweated so much in my life. Was 75* outside with 100% humidity. Attic had cooled to 100*. I had sweat dripping off of the ends of my fingers. Dumped my boots out on the porch.

You really will get used to the humidity and you will sweat less. Make sure you are drink a ton of water during your acclimation period.
At least after TN, you'll find Moab heat to be much more bearable. My first summer back in Colorado after having spent 6 summers between Florida and Virginia, I distinctly remember thinking how the CO summer didn't seem hot at all. Of course that only lasted 1 summer. Haha
Progress.
The electrical is ready for inspection.
Boxes going into cabinets and on shelves.
I can see floor.
