Reno,
I have been doing electrical work since 1975, started out as a BA/FA installer then went right into electrical resi/com work. I am a firm believer in safety, don't get me wrong. It just seems like code making panel are just interested in changing the code every 3 years to a) Sell more code books. B) Serve the interest of manufactures, who sit on code making panels in order to sell more equipment. C) Try to save people from themselves, because lawyers love to sue everyone at the drop of a hat.
It is getting frustrating to be an EC, trying to meet the code, trying to make money and still keeping the jobs safe.
I am now an AHJ and see the problems that the new EC's are facing. I feel very sorry for them, it is darn near impossible to make a living anymore.
