Our contractor accidentally cut the 220 volt 6 gauge line that ran from our
main electrical box to a panel that operates our spa and outdoor lighting. His
fix was to splice the lines in a junction box. This is all outside and the
junction box is mounted on the side of a wood pergola hidden by a vine. Is all
this safe? Children play in this area daily
Picture of inside the junction box included , main house panel, and the spa
panel the cut line runs to

Ask for the contractor's insurer phone#, remember the guy's name and the date of the work done and hope for the best.
The real question is whether this "contractor" actually is one
(licensed and insured) and if he had permits for the work he was
doing. If you hired an unlicensed handyman and you did not get
permits, it is pretty hard to get the municipality interested in
sending an inspector out there unless you want to be liable for the
fines and fees.
