Calendar Event: ELECTRIC ? Posted: 17 Jan 2023 at 4:33am |
LA, of course the NEC is not in itself legally enforceable, the NFPA which administers it is a private entity with no legal standing. Enforcement lies with the AHJ in each community where it has been adopted. That entity has the final word.That's why they call it the authority having jurisdiction. Anyone is free to call their AHJ anytime and ask for a waiver of whatever Code provision you want. Who knows, you might get lucky.
Where it seems we don't agree is whether or not Article 334.40(b) itself is not clear regarding the use of NM cable splice products. It is. They can be used for repair or in an exposed location for new wiring, not for new wiring when concealed inside a wall. BTW thanks for the insult to all the hard working people from industry, safety, science, engineering, contracting, and government who work hard and mostly thanklessly to filter, write and maintain the Code. I guess we need to add attorneys to the committees because without them we couldn't possibly write a proper English sentence. OTOH if we did add lawyers we'd never get anything done because they would argue with each other incessantly. I think we've beaten this proverbial horse to death. We don't even know if Hogone's existing Romex will reach his new box location. |

Oh, please, OG, people have been trying to write rules for all of written human history and very few have succeeded in writing with perfect clarity. Engineers and technical people are no more perfect than the rest of us. Not to be religious, but they are no more infallible than the pope. And, yes, when there is lack of clarity, it's the lawyers to whom people turn to fight over it.

LA, this is what you said yesterday: "Few codes are well written and most are loaded with ambiguity for inartfully chosen words". Today's version: "....very few have succeeded in writing with perfect clarity. Engineers and technical people are no more perfect than the rest of us." While the former is both inaccurate and insulting, the latter is certainly true, so I'll happily accept that modification to your previous "inartfully chosen words". |

I don't want to get in the middle of this words tangle, but............... I was a Licensed General Contractor in NC for 35 years and owned a residential construction company. I can ASSURE all of you that individual city/county inspectors have a LOT of latitude in interpreting the codes they are paid to enforce. I worked in multiple cities and multiple county jurisdictions and experienced firsthand differing interpretations of the same code depending on the inspector. codes are written, but inspectors decide what is acceptable or not depending on their interpretation of what is written. Travel often and safe Vann

We're all good Hogone, LA and I actually respect each other's opinions, we're just old and get cantankerous at times.
As for smoking a doob, the older I get the more I feel the need to keep the brain cells I have left over from having grown up in NorCal. So I don't smoke anything anymore unfortunately....

Yes, OG and I are just two argumentative grumpy old men, but we don't take each other too seriously. It's just a game of the "dozens."
As for smoking, never have been a fan. I did inhale a few times, but it was almost half a century ago.

Nazareth was pretty darn good, but the Meatloaf Bat Out of Hell Tour was what rock dreams are made of.

The Airplane. May 67. Coconut Grove, Santa Cruz. Strobes and mesc.
Surrealistic Pillow hadn't been released yet, so it was my first time hearing Grace Slick belt out White Rabbit. An experience never to be forgotten, or equalled either. I guess at this point though Im mostly just glad I survived that crazy time....
