I'm confused. Is a doorbell and a fixture both mounting to this box? What's the point of both these wires running here?

 

Doorbell transformer, ordered Ring’s preferred one, has shipped, hasn’t arrived.

 

no doubt , second from right is like totally not plumb

 

Yes. Referring to the garage door openers being unevenly spaced, out of level and plumb and the outlet and switches being different heights.
Door handle was temporary until customer decides if they want standard keyed or digital keypad

 

I was joking kinda sorta.

What drives me nuts besides all that - is even if YOU know which one is for door #1, no one else seems to remember! Wife would think leftmost was for door #3 and so on.

Ask me how I know this!

 

got a oval mirror to mount in bathroom over vanity. Mounting bracket was installed crooked from factory...

So I mounted the hanging bracket crooked...

Almost perfect results!

 

Common sense would dictate they would correspond to the doors as you're face them walking out that door. Left = left, middle = middle and right = right.

Then again, common sense is extinct in the trades.

 

At least you dont have to see the fact that you were left no choice but to put it up crooked, maybe one day when you're in a box getting lowered into the ground you'll forget it.

 

Two in the front, one in the rear. Doors that is! I'll plug them in and then label accordingly so the homeowner doesn't have to wonder.

 

That's how my mind works.

BUT wife numbered from outside the house.

And she carries the magic box with her everywhere.

 

Excellent. See, I assumed three in a row.

 

Those stickers peel off too, my OCD had that gone the day we moved in, PO left it on since install, might have had a flip phone too.

 

Garage. The outlets on other side are that high due to block wall at 42" high then studs above. Kept the outlet same height throughout per homeowner request. Personally I would have kept that wall at standard height.

 

Finished up the rebar for the retaining walls / kitchen end of the house today , including a grade beam so there is no lateral pressure from the house foundation on our septic tanks and rebar and hold down bolts for a Simpson Strongwall shear wall panel , all 15m (5/8") rebar except the grade beam closed ties and strongwall hairpins which are 10m

 

How long does it take to learn to bend the rebar like that? Is it a novice skill or is it much harder than it looks?

 

I buy the hoops and corners pre-made , saves a ton of time for me . I can do easy bends on site but the fancier stuff I just buy

 

the pro's are called rodbusters

 

yep

watching those guys tie rebar is artwork , mine just keeps the house up haha
