Joe,

I live in a town called Boonton NJ. It is in the northern part of NJ. I was a contractor in my own business for 15 years and I was doing electrical work since 1975. Right now I am a full time AHJ (A**hole having jurisdition.) [Linked Image] However I try to bring some common sense to the job site. Being that I worked in the trade, I know what the contractors can do, and what it is hard to do. ( I also know lots of the tricks that contractor tried to get away with. because I did them myself.) I inspect for 4 towns and I inspect anything from services, to hospital, with an airport thrown in there for good luck. I have seen small jobs to large 20,000 sq. ft houses with indoor bowling alleys. Every day is a new adventure for me, but I love the work.

I live in Chelmsford , MA. 30 mi N.W. of Boston. I've recently been working on public schools. The time tables come crunching down on top of you in these projects. Newburyport HIgh school was delayed, they had to spread students all over town till it passed occupancy. Great money to make in prevailing wage, but, you have to be wide shouldered, specially if the management your working under is underqualified.

wirenutt,

I was in Chelmsford for a training class back in the 80's. My first experience with Boston drivers was trying to merge into the Logan tunnel. Later that day I got lost in Chinatown looking for a place to eat. Finally found a Legal's.
80's in chinatown, looking for somthing to eat. Yeah right. Perhaps the term "red light district" will help jog your memory. Every few months the Boston PD puts on "operation squeeze" to round up the "ladies of the evening" and their "johns" in chinatown. The number one excuse from the guys from out of town "I was looking for something to eat"

Thanks to all for willingness to share knowledge and experience.
Charlie:

I will go to the Eastern Section Meeting instead, because I have other commitments. I enjoyed the Western Section meetings when I did attend in the past. I have some pictures of some of the Players today who were just fledglings then.

So now I get the story, you are just playing around with me, when you say arguing with me is like trying to catch a skunk!

OK, we can play and be on the same track but you know where I am coming from, and I don't represent any interest except for myself.

Can I be all wrong? You have seen my pictures, and today another 24 to add to my library.

NFPA is afraid to discuss this issue with me!

We need people like Bill Hogan, he made them listen (former Chief Electrical Inspector City of Chicago) Sparky does speak some truth, everyone has an agenda -- and I am about to put forward a challenge to the NEC Committee Members, except for Special Experts!

Let's inspect their attic and handy work! I wil stop now got to get ready to go to NY for a wedding.
