Harold:
The key to what you say regarding the 'basement' is the words "New Guy".
Previous discussions regarding this was...
As the basement is a part of an existing building envelope, it is not considered an 'addition' therefore it does not require AFCI. This opinion was drafted by Susan and Rob Austin.
This 'new' opinion will add to the confusion that the UCC original intent was to have consistant interpertations, and the 'rules' to be equal statewide.
Someone down there should provide an FTO on this, so everyone is on the same page. Doing this will prevent "John does not enforce/require that" issues.
What say you? His page or mine??
