You should know me better than anyone on this board. We have been friends for many years. You know that I don't get excited about a lot of subjects and that I stop in here now and then for many years. However this new code change is getting very out of hand. The code making panels keep changing things year after year. I understand fully that we are trying to make our world safe, but at what cost? When is enough too much? Trying to push TP receptacles is now getting a little out of hand. ( In my opinion) Let's try to keep the focus on safety and new equipment to help keep us safe, but let's not jam this stuff down our throats. My state hasn't enforced the AFCI's yet, so I don't even know if they are worth it yet or not. My state has a lot of old houses with a lot of old wiring. Knob and tube (K&T) was the norm, back 100 years ago. Many EC's don't even know what K&T is and how to work with it. As for pool wiring, sec. 680 of the NEC keeps changing from code cycle to code cycle.
