There have been several things that Mike Holms as pointed as code violations that were not. He made a big deal when he found 2 GFCI outlets daisy chained. Does the Canadian NEC prohibit 2 GFCIs in series? I also notice on his show, most panelboards are mounted horizontal. Is this the norm in Canada? These shows are the extreme. Some like the house flipping shows and DIY shows many times show unsafe and dangerous practices, such as lamp cords run to homemade light fixtures and tied to house wiring or fixtures installed without boxes. Or wiring done by people that should not pick up a hammer much less a pair of linemans pliers. Others like Mike Holms show, perfection with all high-end products and endless labor, doing a job only the very wealthy could afford.
