Hope your not upset with me, Not my intention.
We don't write the code, but do have input.
(I don't think it will fly, too much cost involved)
I have no idea on the TR GFCI anywhere.
I think a little parental supervision and education goes a long way. I never ate the lead paint on my parents window sill, or ... I digress...
We live in a feel good society now where common sense must be legislated. The intention is well understood. However it appears that this is another case of the pendulum swinging out of control again. The need to do something.. right or wrong is too great. Over reaction to a small problem. I don't have the #s, but they would be interesting.
I feel the end result would be worse, as mentioned before. Once we leave, the customer removes/destroys the device, now a greater hazard.
As a side note, when I had the little ones, I couldn't afford the new house, we bought the old one without GFCI and all the rest. I'm sure things aren't too different now.
Your analogy suggests that we should give away the work to save the customer (you and I) money. Costs go up and so don't are prices, no way around it.
New septic requirements.. they're still working
building code.. Carpenters still working.
Auto regs...Ins regs.. Trash pick up...
The plumbers still have work (and more money than me).
It is what it is.
(Greg, I like your friends idea, but I'm afraid my dog would get hurt)
