txsparky, My little corner of the world is much as 66 describes. In my home county and the next one over where 75% of our work is,there is no building inspection of any kind.Only septic systems are inspected. Trying to get G.C.'s and homeowners to understand the need for code compliant wiring is sometimes a big job."But the other electricians didn't say anything about that". Or from a G.C. "My other sparky never did that" Add the fact that our bids are usually higher than most to comply with code,and its an uphill battle at best. The refreshing thing is that we also do work in N.C. for a sparky friend there,and the codes are enforced to the letter.Oh well, maybe someday. Russell
