Saturday night in the Chapel a large light fixture weighing more than 50 pounds fell out of the ceiling. It was being held up in the airs by the wires!!! We still had church.
Building is about 40 years old. When things start to fall, this is similar to the Church falling apart. LOL
I was told that they had to put a work order in the get this repaired and it may take time. They could not get an electrical contractor in immediately remove it. I said what!!! Very dangerous situation because if it falls there will be glass everywhere. I told them that I am a licensed electrician and this is dangerous. So they blocked off area a bit but not enough for me.
Looking at the fixture hanging from the ceiling I could see many electrical violations. Because all this stuff is hidden no one would know!!! Just like the Church, hide historical facts but one day they will come out.
My question is what about the other 9 large light fixtures. Are they going to get checked!! And properly repaired to code? My guess is no!!!! Too costly.
