DIY Network has a delightful show "Renovation Realities" that plays most Sundays.
It's worth committing to TIVO.
Plenty of laughs every time.
The typical episode features brazen DIY white collar professionals goofing all over their project.
It's video documentation of how arrogant these folks are: they assume that the trades are a snap and that every craft is a simple as boiling water.
At the end the refrain is always the same: this is the last time we're ever going to play at construction!
As for Alex Napier: perhaps he's got too much time on his hands -- I know I do! Plainly he holds himself in high regard. ( a common fault of electricians everywhere ) Thankfully he is only confusing the public.
By his posting I'd not want him training ANY apprentice.
As for having an encyclopedic knowledge of our craft -- I don't think anyone can say they have it. It's too large a body of knowledge.
BTW, if the GFCI is feeding a hot tub you really will need that grounding conductor. Hot tubs build a very significant capacitive coupling within the water which must be bled off to the ground rod/Ufer. I've measured over 50 Volts to ground!
