Some of our friends from south of the border are framing a house next door and while cutting the grass I noticed this: They are running an air compressor and electrical saw like this....:S

Looks like typical south of the border work.

Looks like a lot of construction sites I have been on.

I always wondered why the prongs had that little hole in the end :RBTW, let them know the polarity is reversed on the second plug :S

Everyone knows you use jumper cables for that :)

So typical. There's a lot of that type of thing down here. Sometimes it's in the shower. :E

At least they used wire nuts.

That's the only way to do it when there is no meter.

Electricity is a lot cheaper if you get it upstream of where the meter want to go... :-)

If they just had a coin peso to put behind the fuse maybe those covered outlets would work.
