I was inspecting a new construction property in Nashville, TN yesterday and ran across this professional installation of an air handler and condensate pump. Professional contractors will install a bracket on the side of the air handler on which to mount the pump and an outlet for power. This contractor took a short cut and went down to Walgreen’s or where ever was convenient and purchased a $1.29 extension cord and left it like that. The mechanical codes official signed off on this installation, making me wonder if they had even been there at all or was this just another drive-by shooting.

That's the problem with new construction these days. Instead of doing things right, they are done just for the sake of having it done. Whatever happened to quality construction?

Michael, it seems like lots of times we find things that may have been a temporary solution that becomes permenant as it gets forgotten. "As long as their is new construction----we will have jobs"
