   Saw your picture- Thought, "huh, galvanized cable clips."  Always followed by "never saddle a dead horse" (saddle section never goes on the return section of the loop).

   Looks like he saddled a live horse alrighty.  I never thought it was supposed to be live that way.

   The center wire with the longer whiter tape ... is it looping over to the bottom of the right-side fuse?

   There are three saddle clamps in that box.Saddle clamps are for making loops in steel cable for things like logging.That's a whole lot of bulky metal at each connection.Not only a short hazard, there is just no way any inspector who actually looked in that box would pass it.What's the story, Rez ? Someone stealing a little power ?

   It never even ocurred to me that it was you. Like myself, while you are willing to think outside the box, yer not willing to take such idiotic chances as this picture showed.I just figured your friend had been called because someone was stealing electricity for growing, or something of that sort.Is that a meter box with a couple of fuses stuck in in place of the meter ??

   Yeah, I get fairly attentive to correctedness when it comes to the juice and leave my idiotic addresses for the less risky venues of life.
