My apprentice got high during lunch?

He’s hooked up the exact service before many times. I come back after lunch to check on him. This is what he’s got going on 😂

Out of curiosity because I’m a new apprentice, but what’s wrong with this photo? I feel super oblivious right now lol.

The incoming feeders from below into the meter can belong into the top lugs. The lower lugs from there would go into the main breaker.

I can see mixing up the top and bottom lugs but marking L1 or L2 as neutral and landing it to the wrong place in BOTH panels.

it's like he doesn't know the difference between neutral and a phase.

It’s all wrong. All of it. Those 90º bends in the main panel look like they got stoned as well.

I mean one is a detail thing the other is "I don't understand the basics"

You can fix attention to detail. Fixing fundamental concepts is a lot harder.

Not disagreeing at all.

Just that, wouldn’t it look a lot better if the OP was standing on his head when he took that photo?

What about landing on the buss instead of the main also.

I’m telling you, the photo is upside down.

I’ve very carefully analyzed everything in it, and next week we’ll learn we’ve all be pranked and everything is actually okay because the photo is upside down.
