    Nightmare Covid Shop Build

    You wouldn't believe how many times I have contractors do something completely different than the plans and specs and then say something to the effect of "I didn't even look at those - this is the way we always do it..." Well, the plans and specs are there for a reason, they are what were...

    Ummm... You should be dropping the white wire (neutral) and keeping the two hots (red and black). 240V is two hots and a ground. Neutral is only used for 120V.

    Nightmare Covid Shop Build

    Welcome to my world... Builder (paraphrasing): "Hey, we didn't build what you had on the plans, so how do me make this work now that we've totally f***ed it all up?" "Hey, what we built doesn't match the plans so the inspector won't pass it. Can you change your plans so that he'll pass it?"...
