Sounds like some people here know their stuff, much more than I do. I'm not an electrician and I didn't sleep at a Holiday Inn last night, but this ^^^ is an outstanding installation. Anyone with sense will smile on workmanship like above. The electrical inspectors I have worked with would usually not fail an installation that looks ugly, but they can. And sometimes they do.

Nostatic is not going to be giving any boxes the haircuts they need, but he could just make sure the connections are tight. A good electrical connection is all about having a 'tight,' airless connection. To get that, you compress metal onto metal. Just see if those big screw connections are tight. Aluminum wiring is notorious for shrinking and becoming loose. The big multi-strand stuff like incoming power should be coated with that anti-oxidant stuff and screwed TIGHT.

Then again, I didn't sleep at a Holiday Inn last night.
