Nope, thank God you and your union slackers were nowhere to be
found... The work got done, and done right.
How would *you* know the job was "done right"?
Pffffttt...
You can "pffffttt" all you like, but it's no substitute for the cold
hard fact that you surely know nothing about wiring a home properly,
or, in fact, much about anything else, either.
House wiring isn't exactly rocket science Harry. There's a good
book for you on on subject at Barnes and Noble entitled, "Home Wiring
for Dummies".

Wiring a home properly requires some knowledge of electricity,
knowledge of wiring, and knowledge of the electrical code. An idiot
like JustHate surely can run wire, but that doesn't mean he really
knows what he is doing or that he does the wiring according to code.
You look it up in a book. Not to insult electricians, but that's
basically all they learn to get a license. Wiring is pretty
straightforward. I have fun "qualifying" licensed electricians with a
simple question.
Assume your house is wired with a 200 ampere service (which is pretty
standard for the average sized home). You have two "hot" legs, a
neutral and ground. The size of each hot leg is sized to handle 200
amperes. That's 200 amps each, or a total of 400 amps. Yet, the white
"neutral" lead is the same size as the hot leads .... rated for 200 amps.
Why?
Very few licensed electricians will give the correct answer.
