I agree!!! I am amazed by the collective wisdom here. I am learning things I would never have been able to find out from the handful of electricians I ever see.

I used to visit a site loaded with do-it-your-selfers and soon got REAL SICK of that. Glad it's discouraged here. That type just doesn't want to hear the correct way to do anything.

Let's face it, this is a very interesting field and it is fascinating to hear the reasons behind some of the rules instead of just the codes themselves.
