Hi,
I tell you what I can not understand and that is why some people feel that just because they are from a certain place that the code doesnt apply to them. For instance, up here in an unamed town which is booming right now, it is reportedly allowed to use #14 on a 20A ckt, switches do not have to be grounded and romex can be pulled tight into the box, derating doesnt matter and you do not need an electrical apprentice or journeymans license even though everybody else in the state has to have a license and adhere to the code..
this is the problem electricians are facing out in the US today..there are too many ways to get around the system..most of this work has a permit on it and will most likely pass inspection..
i hear the contractor crying about call backs and rework and lost profits..DUH
