Mac:
I make a decent living fixing other installer's work. Someone's got to do
it or the bad systems will never get fixed. Who does that benefit?
I of course need assurance from the customer that I can fix all safety
issues before I start.
I also like to keep one or two pro-bono customers on my client list. These
are usually widows or elderly on fixed incomes. I need the karma points to
compensate for my mis-spent youth.

Hey wrenches,
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?
