and when I was building houses, to change the code took $50.00 or the mafia to torch the place and redo it. Probably hasn't changed one bit, different faces, higher prices, same bandit.
Not like that in the Electrical for Washington. The last fight I had was over non-fused disconnects at Red Dot in Tukwila. The inspector turned my job down and I felt he was wrong and when his supervisor refused to overturn him I went to the State Electrical inspector. Was a woman at the time and she came out, saw I was right and chewed the inspectors out Big Time and submitted the change to the NEC. No Money, just an honest inspection, I have never backed down from an inspector if I am sure I am right. I have had 3 Big fights with inspectors and have won all 3, I choose my fights.
Sad you guys see so much crap work, I was mainly commercial/industrial but have wired quite a few really well built custom homes. Just finishing up a 5000 sf house that is solid as hell. Never did track houses but that is what it sounds like most have seen....
