Needs more outlets.

I'm not kidding you.
You've never seen so many outlets in all your life.
There's even one in the storage area under the stairs.

 

[Orangeslice13]

I'm surprised they didn't declare the kitchen island wall space and make comp put another 10 outlets in it.

They won't be hot when breaker is removed. I don't need em or want em. There will never be used for anything where they're located. They were asses for making me do it. And most of all, cause I can.

'Merica......

Their interpretation was that the railing to prevent drunks from falling off the loft was a "Room divider". I disagreed. Lawyer told me to let it go.

if it was still open 50% to the room below it is not.

 

[LouderVol]

Hmmm. I was wrong, the electrical code (IRC E3901.2.2.3) does specify railings as fixed room dividers. thats different than the architecture definition. but they shouldn't have made you do floor outlets as literally the next section (E3901.2.3) says that floor receptacles shall not be counted towards the requirements of number of outlets.

No, it doesn't. It lists several things that may be considered room dividers...railings are one of them. In this case, the railings do not divide a room. Not all railings are room dividers.

My railings are a barrier, not a room divider.

 

[LouderVol]

lol. i am with you.

That explains the outlet in the floor of this old house when I bought it...

Be kinda fawked up if it was after you bought it.

I like floor outlets, especially in open plans. If you have seating and end tables away from the walls, it's good to have something in the floor to plug into so that you don't have wires snaking all around.

But no one likes being told to modify their building plans, I realize.

We got lucky with our inspectors. The builder had to beef up a back porch support, but everything else sailed through.

Spend the first night in the house and wake up to find an outlet in the floor where there wasn't one before? Kinda creepy...

So Friday we went to the cabin.
1st flooring stapler broke at the fitting. So off to the hardware store. Got it fixed then the other stapler jammed. Got to take it completely apart. For most of the day we ran one gun. Smfh. Anyway we got about half of what we wanted to accomplished. Hopefully Comp found time between hunting to get some things done and take some pics.
