It's funny how one building inspector wants one gfci plug in a circuit, and the next inspector interprets the code as having to have one at every outlet.
My project for today will be to flip the outlets at my parent's new house. The local code apparently required that all the GFCI circuits must have the outlets installed upside down. What a pain.
All outlets should be that way anyway. That way if a plug was only partially seated and a metallic object fell behind the plug, the ground would be upwards. Just saying..
We have to make these rules so that the dumb people survive. Without those people, nobody would be dumb enough to keep creating more tax payers without expecting any real ROIC.
Try telling that to my mom who likes to have little night lights around the house so she can putt around in the dark. Them being upside down made her mentally irregular.
Seems the GFI circuits can trigger prematurely in some cases. A washer I have had a cracked outlet so I replaced with appropriate rated GFI. Would always switch off when running the washer so I use an adjacent normal outlet. Was trying to be "safe" as water faucets were adjacent but still an issue. Could have wasted more money to buy an higher rated GFI but easier to just leave it for utility use and plug in the washer elsewhere
In my area, course workers always put a "W" (Wrong way) or "X" (Danger) on our front number plates , so competitors can identify the bike, as a club worker. Hi Vis vests are reserved for club workers on foot, doing traffic control.
It's amazing how much brighter the interior of a garage is when it's painted. Do the floor with the epoxy stuff while you have all the items out. It makes clean up a lot easier.
