[QUOTE="Milt Hathaway, post: 84309, member: 26"] Re: Just when you thought you saw the worst.... I've done a tie-in like that. It was a little neater (the cover went back on the box), but I did what had to be done. It looks odd, but done as shown it's not any more unsafe than anything else involving a temporary electrical tie-in. The scariest part is that the box remains live the entire time you're working on it, which is why that neutral is spliced as shown. Would I do it again? Probably not, but I don't have to any more. Am I ashamed? No. (The hanging quad boxes are much scarier than that feeder tie-in.) [/QUOTE]
