That in no way means that the inspectors adhere to said code.
--------------------------------
I haven't read the NEC book for several years but I think it used to
have a statement in the preface to the effect of, "local codes and/or
ordinances supersede these requirements" or something like that.
Well, no offense, but this has deteriorated into another rec.boats
facepalm thread. No matter what any posts, there are exceptions, there
are reasons why it won't work, someone's brother in law knows a lousy
inspector, someone's sister got electrocuted while using her AC powered
vibrator, the contractors are no good, the contractors are lazy, there
are exceptions to the code, ad nauseum.
All that is missing is Herring trying to blame it all on the Democratic
mayors of Chicago. That would earn the thread another facepalm.
