Corrected the smiley for you

And people wonder why electrical safety standards are so stringent in the UK. Perhaps we should link this to Barewolf's Shed thread

Good thing it's only 110v. Like there's just about everything wrong here. USA also have regulations about electrical installations and all work should be done by a licensed contractor.

Looks like Mr Amature thought he could save money.

Anybody seen the "Holmes on Homes" series on shed? He exposes some truely shocking building problems: Dry wall screws live to mains where they've gone through cables.

Mind you I discovered some leathal hidden wiring bodges when I redid the flue pipe on my mothers Rayburn to get adequate heat clearances: Bits of old chop block and used cable taped up and hidden inside drywall linings to extend lighting and power circuits. Had to redo the whole area and put proper junction boxes on the ceiling beams where you could get to them.

Perhaps the person responsible should be renamed Mr Armature..

The work actually looks familiar and is the trademark of a very famous firm of American electrical contractors, namely:

J WAYNE and W KIDD

Awful job. Surprised they havent had a fire or electrical faults.

The wiring to that light just won't be up to the job of running those motors, especially if you activated both at the same time! No matter what a motor is rated at, the initial "push" can often draw 10x that!

i used to fit garage doors with those motors a couple of years ago and you are right the initial take off of the door takes a lot more power also because it would be working against the spring when dropping the door ,one day that cable will go up like fuse on a stick of dynamite
