"I was chicken.
Greg's post seems to have much truth in it.
I see no NEC permission to use vegetation as support for the branch circuits, feeders, or festoon type lighting."
Bob:
I was not trying to imply that what I mentioned above was the least bit "NEC"
Yes, a branch circuit with a GFI, and a bubble cover at the base of the tree/bush/whatever are MANDATORY; that is NOT considered "temporary". I stop there. Whatever gets plugged in.......
Also, I'm not fond of extension cords from tree to tree, but....legally I have no authority to do much, unless there is an open construction permit for the site.
I see some really brutal stuff at the catering hall lots (wrapped trees), but again, they have the circuit/outlet/etc at the base of each tree.
I'm trying to maintain political correctness but....it's still "Christmas Lights" to some of us.
