electure:

You are so right, and I agree 100%. I was talking about my time in California as an electrical inspector for the City of Glendale and Pasadena in the early 70's.

I can remember when I met a "brand new" electrical contractor on the job where he used a No. 14 AWG as the GEC for a 4-meter, 200 ampere 120/240 volt, single phase service!

I never did tell him what the violation was and he couldn't figure it out until about a week or so.

You want me to put up some pictures of some of the work I found in your state back then?

I am happy to see the State pass the law about licensing, it is about time, and as far as the other states .. well we know that it is probably related to some political influence and "wannabe group" or the almighty $$$

Peace!
