I am curious how many are familiar with or have a copy of their Local or State Building Code(s)?
I was told (corrected) by my local Inspector that his job is to enforce the State Building Code (as it applies to Electrical Installations) and not strictly the NEC. He further explains that is where the requirements are for number and placement of Smoke Detectors, Bathroom Exhaust Fans, and numerous other things that many people drive themselves crazy looking for in the NEC (and sometimes blaming on the Inspector being 'picky')
If this is the same all over it doesn't seem to be common knowledge.
Bill
