I had to buy it online at Home Depot, had them pick it up.
Contractor didn’t network the smoke detectors together per request from prior inspection…that was one issue.
The rest are a bunch of wires in the attic that need junction boxes…was supposed to have been done months ago.
Shit.
Small punch list.
About half of it being things I told contractor to handle months ago.
Re-inspect Monday.
Yeah multiple times LOLOps normal.
Were your instructions on paper?
Yeah multiple times LOL
That was definitely not done by a licensed electrician.I imagine your punch list wasn't too bad compared to ours. For example, this is cabinet lighting installed by a "licensed" electrician. I didn't hire him, we hired a GC to do the whole project, but I have my doubts. If you look closely, the painters painted around the lighting. Painstakingly taping them off, when they could have very easily just pulled them down and bagged them. All for naught anyway, because not only was that wiring not going to fly, I ended up switching out the lights for better units that actually matched the color temp of the rest of the lighting, and employed *gasp* a real junction box. The lamp cord went away too, and those grounds actually got connected too.

<>Both FIL and MIL have lived with us for 4+ years now. FIL passed about 18mo’s ago. So just the MIL now. It would annoy me on occasion but for the most part it’s been fine. My MIL is quiet and easy to get along with. I do miss my FIL playing his squeeze box on Saturday mornings. I like Cajun and Zydeco music and he was pretty good. All in all, it has been fine and a very minor inconvenience. My wife got to spend some quality time with her Pops before the cancer came back and took him.
the other option…moving to LA… Noooooooo! Living with Cajuns (all on ‘em but me) in your house is one thing… be surrounded by them is another… they are fun to visit and a couple of my wife’s cousins always have some home made Shine to share.
Maybe he was blind?That was definitely not done by a licensed electrician.
I wish my experience were similar with this "electrician." I had to fight the GC who was defending this yahoo. We were too far in and the wife really wanted the project finished, but honestly I should have ran them all out on their ear like I wanted to in the beginning. Worse, it was during the pandemic surge when everyone was booked solid. Perfect nightmare.Turned out he'd been doing the SAME type of work on the 30 houses he'd done for them - they made him go back and correct it, then shit-canned him.
Some work I've seen made me wonder how some electricians managed to obtain a license.That was definitely not done by a licensed electrician.

ETA: Dang! I was going to comment on the guy hooking up breakers 220V but I've forgotten so much since the diabetes took my brain. (Reason I had to quit my biz.)
I'd bet you meant "breaker" instead of breakers. I'm soooo confused. Sigh.
ETA2: so, if you had mini breakers and used two contacts that were side by side, you'd still have only 115v.
