<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>You have gotten some great advice from previous
responders. Don't underestimate the use of before and after photos with
interim photos of any hidden problems discovered during the repair. Sometimes I
even manage to get the owner/caller in the photo, too. The photos also have a
side benefit of refreshing your memory when they call again a couple (or more)
years later.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV>Hey wrenches,
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Wanted to see what everyone does in a case like I just encountered.
I got a call from a tenant for an off-grid system installed by the
landlord (supposedly an electrician). I went up there to look at the
site and it was a mess. System lacked OCPDs, there were gouges in the
insulation of the wires, loose terminals, nothing ran in conduit, etc...
I was called up there to see why the generator was not auto starting.
I got the auto start working, expressed my concern to the tenant about
the workmanship and left. Now I'm wondering whether I should have
touched the system at all. What would you do? Is there liability
here?</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Thanks<BR>-- <BR>
