Yeah you definitely remind me of my electrical foreman. Straight to the point and can spew information like wild fire. Hope you have an apprentice that drives you crazy lol

I was a firefighter and a union electrician, but as a child I had 2 home lost because of extension cords ! So I was a little anal with outlets, so I Always put outlets under every window and every 6 ft. In homes regardless of the codes most of the time only charged for the materials on the extra outlets . Also made sure that every hallway and stairway had at least one outlet for sweepers and nightlights. Then outside I would put an outlet on every side of the house on switches for low voltage lights and Christmas lights and one by the a/c unit plus the one on the deck . I know this may sound like over kill but down the road the homeowner loves that ! Sometimes they had me add outlets in the eves for lights too! But as I said I hate extension cords!!

I have put outlets in the overhangs on switches for several homes . Always tell customers it is much cheaper and zero demolition debris to put outlets , flex conduit for future speakes etc etc than wait until you live there a full year and then want add something

I'm having trouble with a gc writing a proper schedule. The order of rough in stages he demands that we go into a building before plumbing and hvac. I need code articles that show industry standards for rough in stages. Weather it be Nec, Wac, building code or city standards. My understanding is plumbers have priority and can rip out our wire. If you have time. I love how you always reference code articles, it helps people like me build muscle memory.

Wow! Had to put the load center in the master bedroom. Bummer.

I thought that piece of plastic was a knockout because the NEC 2023 says 314.17(B)(2) Exception states, that where Romex is used "with a single gang nonmetallic boxes...and where the cable is fastened within 8" of the box measured along the sheath...securing the cable to the box shall not be required." Not sure about 2017 code.
