Speaker 3: What's up, everybody, Paul ABERNECTI here, Welcome to another episode
of Master the NEC where we talk about the National
Electrical Code, all things electrical, just about any topic, anytime, anywhere,
on any subject that is pertinent Okay, So it's a
big word for me. If you listen to the people
on social media, it's a big word for me. And
so today's episode, we're gonna talk a little bit about
kind of an after show from the live that we
did last night with inspector Preston.
Speaker 2: Very impressed with him.
Speaker 3: I mean, I've taught literally thousands of inspectors, probably more
than that when all the years that I was with
teaching for inter Nachi, and you know, he is very impressive,
not just the way he answers, but his thought process.
And you know what, it's always a childnge when you
run into people that actually will do older homes, because again,
there's there's a lot of things in an older home,
and the home inspector immediately would like to just red
flag everything to stand out and just cause all kinds
of problems for the sale, but they may be legit,
and so you've got to walk that fine line. And
I think Preston does a great job of that. And
I haven't seen any these reports, but I can kind
of I'm typically a good judge of people, especially in
the realm of home inspection, uh, and it sure seems
to me that he's got his his stuff together, and
so again I wish him all the success. He's obviously
doing amazing on social media, these over half a million followers.
Speaker 2: You know, I'm not big on the follower thing.
Speaker 3: I think it's you know, you know my opinion on
social media in my in this this quote influence. But actually,
of the home inspectors that are in that social whatever
you want to call it sphere, I think the one
that you should follow is probably Inspector Preston. I think
that he probably gives you the best value of knowledge
than than any of them, uh, and most certainly more
than some of them, right who are just doing nothing
but inspecting new home builds that the municipal inspector should
have caught the stuff before it made it to a
home inspector or you're just doing a manufacturer of homes
that just are notoriously creating shitty homes.
Speaker 2: Uh that just about anybody could probably find the problem.
But that's all right.
Speaker 3: I don't want to get fanned about fan boys, because
I get enough of that hate. So anyway, we're gonna
talk about that a little bit today, a little bit
about home inspectors for anybody out there that's looking to
become a home inspector. Yeah, I'm not gonna I'm not
gonna recommend any association uh on this episode, although you
know I am a CMI, so I you know, went
through the inner Nachi thing. But uh, you know, ashy
uh is great.
Speaker 2: You know, Nachi is great. I thank you. You know.
Speaker 3: Uh, there's nothing wrong with joining multiple associations, especially if
you're get into the business and you're wanting to gain knowledge,
because again there's different opinions, different types of training that
you can get from any organization. So if you're looking
to get into it, there's a lot of educational material
now intern out, she does have a lot of material. Now,
the quality of the material lately, I don't know because
I don't watch it and I haven't done any electrical
training for them or refreshing anything from the first video
that I did for them, which I look like a
beached fricking whale. That was back Gosh, that's going to
be close to twenty years ago, and you know, I've
lost about ninety pounds since then. So but anyway, that
being what it is, y'all don't watch that shit to
look at me anyway. So still knowledge, the knowledge is
still there. It's still the same content. It's still the
same home inspection driven type of content. So I encourage
you to look at all kinds of associations. But let's
talk a little bit today. Maybe you're interested in getting
in the home inspection, and I'll give you my opinions,
because again, I was one, and I taught a lot
of them, and I'm associated with a lot of them
as far as helping them and giving them in site
and training. But I'll tell you, when it comes to electricians,
there's usually a love hate relationship. The first thing that
out of electricians' mouth is is is efed up home
inspector or there's piece of whatever home inspector. And you
don't notoriously hear that the other way around, right, You
don't hear home inspectors bashing electricians except when they get
bashed by the home inspector. Home inspector seems to want
to get all the attention and things like that, But
at the end of the day, the electricians are the
one that are usually whining and moaning and groaning about
the home inspector. Usually usually not the other way around,
except for some select home inspectors which try to be
electricians and they're not. Okay, I'm just saying, I'm just saying, revelation,
you do home inspections. Stick to home inspection, all right? Anyway,
I guess it doesn't get enough click. So whatever, whatever
the click thing is, you know that that seems to
be the thing now social media. Boy, the more clicks
you have, the means you're knowledgeable. Boy, that's so far
from the damn truth.
Speaker 2: Uh. There's people that have millions of clicks and they're
dumb as a rock.
Speaker 3: But people like their videos and they create neat content
and people follow. That doesn't make them an authority by
any means.
Speaker 2: But I digress. So I don't need to go there.
Speaker 3: Well anyway, So let's talk a little bit about home inspections,
why they're important for me as an electrician and in understanding.
Speaker 2: The concepts of home inspection.
Speaker 3: So I'm speaking to you, you know, electricians, I embrace
the home inspector. Not all of them are created equal,
not of them all are great, some are just mediocre,
some are poor. Same with electricians. We have the same
problems in all trades, so better than others.
Speaker 2: Uh. At the end of the day.
Speaker 3: From an electrician standpoint, A home inspector brings me business,
and you're electrical contractor and you're in the business to
make money. You're in a business to make money, Okay,
So if a home inspector brings you business, you should
embrace that business. And if something they say is you
disagree with, my advice really is not to bad mouth them,
not to bash to the customer. I mean that we've
talked about that in my soft skills. You don't need
to do that to a customer. I mean, it's okay
if you want to get quote angry on social media,
but you don't work.
Speaker 2: It doesn't work that way.
Speaker 3: For the customer, Okay, especially if they feel pretty loyal
to the person, even though they were feeding them bs.
They still have that loyalty element that you're going to
have to break. And it's no sense in trashing somebody
and running the risk of them getting a bad impression
of you that you're going to have to overcome.
Speaker 2: It's just not worth it.
Speaker 3: So electricians, you know, if you get a report, there's
things on the report to fix you know that there bs. Right,
It's like calling it a double tap to a breaker
when the breaker's designed to handle two conductors. But the
inspector calls it a double tap. Okay, you know that
that's not the case because the breakers, but they don't
necessarily know that. They just see two conductors to a breaker,
and you're saying, well, they should know that, Well they
may not. Okay, they may not understand all the nuances
because you got to remember, and I think.
Speaker 2: I always have to reiterate this. Home inspectors are generalists.
Speaker 3: The problem with some of them out there, the ones
that want attention on social media, they go beyond the
generalists and they try to get into the expert area,
even argue with experts, and the reality is they look
foolish in doing so. But they still got their fanboys
that'll follow anyway and jump on that bandwagon and what not,
what not.
Speaker 2: I get it. It's fine, no big deal.
Speaker 3: But at the end of the day, if you're going
to put yourself out there as a home inspector, then
you should walk that generalist line and do it that way.
But some of them, you know, it's for the attention,
for the glamour, for the fame, for the whatever they
feel like it gives them on social media. They'll do
certain things and that's fine, that's fine. The real home
inspectors like Inspector Preston, which is unique because Preston has
a social media presence, but he's the real deal as
far as an inspector, and he does older homes. That's
not that he's going to shy away from new stuff,
because I'm sure he'll take it, but he primarily in
the area he's at or older home, so he's going
to come in contact with a lot of unique old stuff,
and so he's going to have to make recommendations to
the customer. And it doesn't automatically mean that in a
report you have to come off as an extreme alarmist.
There's a tactful way to do it, and you can
put something in that requires additional attention, and there's nothing
wrong with that. If you really honestly feel that in
your report, it's you duty to put that in your
report as a home inspector.
Speaker 2: Now, as an.
Speaker 3: Electrician, I may disagree with something in the report, but
I'm still getting paid to come out and look at it.
And the vast majority of the electricians that bitch and
wine about this, I don't understand it because you're still
getting paid. Now, unless you feel like this, it's some
kind of I don't know ethic thing. I mean, look,
the home inspector's not fixing it, he's calling it out
for you to evaluate it. There's nothing wrong, I mean,
there's there's electrical contractors that do a lot of the
valuations of electrical systems.
Speaker 2: That's all it is. And if it is something legit,
you fix it.
Speaker 3: If it's not, you address to the customer and say,
I get what the report said. But you know, there's
a generalist and there's an expert. I'm the expert, and
this is okay or yes they're correct.
Speaker 2: We need to fix it.
Speaker 3: Okay, either or but you can do it with professionalism
and tactfulness. And there is no part of me that
thinks some of the social media home inspectors have no
idea what tactfulness is because you can tell by how
they post online that they just there isn't there is
any tactfulness to it at all when you're working with
a customer.
Speaker 2: So anyway, that's my thought on that.
Speaker 3: So home inspectors bring electual contractors business, and you know
I tell people all the time, so this is more
service related when it brings the home inspector brings the
electrician business. Because in a real estate agent or the
you know what happens is I guess we should step
back if for those that aren't familiar with it. When
you get a home inspection, which is typically an option
on every home sale, and if a home is sold
multiple times, it's probably had multiple inspections, so you're thinking, Okay,
everything should have been caught in the other inspection. But again,
not every inspector is at the same level, so some
things get found. Some people are more knowledgeable than others.
Some people get licenses and they never continue their education
other than the bare minimum they need to maintain their
certification or license, which is never a good thing. You
always want to be striving to learn more.
Speaker 2: I get it. Takes time, it takes money, takes commitment.
I get it. You know. It's like I don't have
that much time. Yeah you too, you know you do.
Speaker 3: So anyway, when you think about it, in those realms,
who else is better to put their eyes on something
multiple times during transactions than the home inspector. I mean,
I'm electrician, I'm not going to get in there, and
usually you're not calling me until something's wrong, you know.
Take Philly Caso up there where he's at in Philly.
I mean, by the time he gets called in, the
shit's already messed up. But if he had a second
set of eyes and other people that were looking at
things during sales and transactions and all, and then they
can refer to him, then you go fix it. If
it's nothing to be fixed, you just don't fix it.
You say there's no need for that. You gave your
professional opinion.
Speaker 2: And you move on. But you cash the check. You know,
people say that's just honest. No, it's not.
Speaker 3: If the home inspector called it out and you're the
electrician and they want you to evaluate it, you evaluated it,
you should get paid for your time. I you know
a good example of this also, And my brother is
a classic case of this. I love him to death,
but you know he doesn't feel right if he gets out,
goes out to a call and it's you know, I
was going to use the saying of an older person,
but we're all getting rapidly old. And you go out
and you just do nothing more than reset a GFCI
and he says, I just don't feel right charging them
at my minimum an hour rate.
Speaker 2: And that's that's that's him and I get it. Me.
Speaker 3: I never had that problem because I know that overheads, burdens,
costs of insurance. It's all broken down over how many
times I have to turn that key in my vehicle
to get to leave my office to go do something.
Money is already being spent, so I need to at
least recoup it. And I'm not in business not to
make money. I mean, fuck, why would you be in
business if you're not making money? Okay, So anyway, so
in this scenario, you've got a charge, and I got
my one hour minimum, regardless of whether or not I
fixed it in ten minutes.
Speaker 2: But one thing that was different from me, and I say.
Speaker 3: This a lot to electricians, you know, I say that,
you know you need to give them their hour.
Speaker 2: They're paying for it.
Speaker 3: And you're think, well, if I get in and out
of there and I do a bunch of these and
the money adds up and I spent less time, No,
I don't. That's not the way I do business. You
do whatever you want your business.
Speaker 2: I don't care. That's not how I do business.
Speaker 3: I do business in a sense that they're paying for
an hour, I'm gonna give an hour. So I'm either
going to give them a thermal inspection. I'm going to
give them a visual inspection. I'm going to offer to
make recommendations, whether they want them or not. I'm going
to give them that opportunity. If they say no, I decline,
then that's fine. I at least made the offer. And
I'm also it's going to be very transparent. I'm going
to say, look, you're paying a minimum.
Speaker 2: Of an hour.
Speaker 3: I fixed your issue in ten minutes, twenty minutes, whatever
it is, but I owe you that hour. So while
I'm here, I would like to do an evaluation of
your electrical system to give you the peace of mind. Again,
it's not pressuring you to do anything as just part
of what we do. Because we feel like you're paying
for an hour. We want to give you the hour,
and you know what, you'd be surprised what other business
you can get out of it, or the reputation that
you build or the rapport that you build, and you
have an opportunity to educate the customer while you're there
and all that good stuff. So there's ways to do it,
and not every mom and pop is going to do
it that way.
Speaker 2: I get it.
Speaker 3: But when you think of you know kind of going
back to home inspections. There are a set of eyes
that we don't get to see stuff as often as
they do because every transaction typically going to have the
option for a home inspection. And yeah, they may call
out some things that are you know, that you might
disagree with. As an electrician, they might call out and
you might say, that's fine, that's okay, that's okay. Their
job is done.
Speaker 2: They moved on. Now it's your turn and you don't
have to bash the inspector. You can just go.
Speaker 3: In my professional opinion, this is not an issue. Now
they can choose who they want to believe or who
they want to follow. That got to remember home inspections. Okay,
I'll say this again. Home inspections are optional and the results.
Speaker 2: Of a home inspection are part of a negotiation.
Speaker 3: Okay, So the seller in the buyer are in a
negotiation to purchase. Okay, So the buyer desires to have
a home inspection. The home inspection is done, they have
a list of items that they would like to be addressed.
I'm not going to say fixed, because they need to
be addressed. Okay, they may need to be fixed, but
they got to be addressed and they've been identified by
a home inspector.
Speaker 2: This is now given to the seller.
Speaker 3: The seller will pass this on to an electrician that
they hire, or they can flat out deny it and
say I'm not fixing squat. Take it as it is,
and then it will come back to the buyer to
determine whether these things are easy enough to fix, not
a big deal, something that they can absorb.
Speaker 2: And the seller could say, you know what, I'm going
to give you.
Speaker 3: One thousand dollars towards fixing all these issues, but I
don't want to mess with it. See it's a negotiation,
that's all it is. But an inspection is important because
it finds things. And I was very impressed, and this
is not always the case. I was very impressed with
Inspector Preston's.
Speaker 2: Statement about thermography because I tried.
Speaker 3: If you listen to the show, it's actually over on
our YouTube channel. If you haven't listened or watched it,
it's also available on fast tracks Tube now for free,
so you can go check out how our platform works
over on fast tracks Tube. You get to watch that
for free over there, so you get to see how
neat that app is, how neat that thing adapts to
a mobile device.
Speaker 2: And it's pretty cool. Go check it out. It's worth it,
worth looking at.
Speaker 3: And at the end of the day, he believes in thermography.
In fact, he owns three thermal imaging cameras. Shit, he's
got as many as I have. And I teach this. I,
you know, created a certification program I have.
Speaker 2: Well, I don't know if you had more.
Speaker 3: I got more than three, but usually I have the
lower grade ones to show people the difference in the
pixels and the adjustments and all that.
Speaker 2: I mean, so I use it for that.
Speaker 3: But anyway, he does thermal imaging, and I don't know
if we were offline. Offline, I asked him, I said,
and you know, do you load these circuits? Typically with
thermal imaging, it doesn't do you any good unless you got.
Speaker 2: Some low going through it.
Speaker 3: And he immediately said yes. He's got a little heater
he brings in there. He plugs in to the circuits
and it'll heat up pretty quickly because it's a higher amp,
so it's more like a little heater with resistive heater,
and it's not going to take long. If you've got
a pretty good resistive heater that's pulling twelve thirteen amps.
It's not gonna take long, and you could be doing
other things and you're checking these these circuits and you're
there usually for three or four hours for home inspection anyway,
So you're looking at something, looking at something. Didn't go
check a circuit then run back. I mean you have
to coordinate it. Yeah, it's a pain in the ass,
but you have to coordinate it. But at the end
of the day, the fact that he said that immediately
lets me know that he understands thermography. And you know,
now do you need to do that's only electrical when
it comes to plumbing and running hot waterlines and cold
and looking for wet spots, which you you need a
moisture meter, because again with thermography blue if that's what
your palette is blue, whether it's cold air or blue,
whether it's cold water, it's gonna look essentially the same.
Now you can notice with the air it stays blue consistent,
but with water it starts to graduate or gradiate or
gradients starts to happen towards the end. But you need
a higher pixel camera to see that. But if you
get good at it, you can tell. But anyway, the
point was he did it. And then then we talked
about drones and incorporating the drone into your thermogra into
your home inspection, and we got into a little we're
talking about the classification for a professional drone operator. I'll
be honest with you, most home inspections I would tell you,
and I don't want to tell you to break the law,
but I'm like, dude, you're just flying it over the house,
screw the licensing for you, just don't share it on
social media whatnot like that. Yeah, I get it, Paul's
telling you to do something, but at the end of
the day, that FAA crap is a bunch of crap.
It is a bunch of crap. Yes, I am certified.
I do have a life because I used to share
videos for drones on YouTube, which is a paid platform.
It's my only paid platform. So at the end of
the day, yes, I went and got it. But at
the end of the day, I thought it was a
crock of crap having to learn the classes of airspace
and all that shit when you're just doing home inspections
and you're just gonna be looking at the roof and
a couple of feet off of you it's total crock
but anyway you do you But at the end of
the day, the fact that he did that was, you know,
tells me that this is a this is a home
spect that spends the right amount of time on a job.
Just it's not about getting in and getting out and
doing as quickly and being so.
Speaker 2: We're in the world now where everything is so quickly.
Speaker 3: You know, you watch electrical videos on social media and
they're trying to cut a box in. It's it's almost
like it's you know, like the OS where they're trying to, Okay,
let the timer go off, how quickly I rough it in.
It's almost like what happened to the skill, the neat
the work, you know, the neat work, and it's just
all quick now. Granted you can be neat and still
be quick. I'm just saying it just seems like that's
a shifted focus and I'd rather you take the extra
I'd rather pay my technician to take the extra time
to make it neat and accurate than trying to be
so fast. Anyway, I'm strolling like I always do, off topic.
Home inspectors, so I think they bring a massive value
to the industry. Good home inspectors. Bad home inspectors are
just looking for attention and they're pointing out things that
you probably could find yourself anyway. And so you know,
it's the ones that have the experience. Now I can
tell you right now, I will take a home inspector
who does older homes over the ones that all they
typically do day in and day out is the newer stuff.
You know why because the codes were different back then,
things were different, and you're looking for certain things. They
know how to inspect he exchangers, they know how to
look for the thermal barrier. They know this stuff because
you're used to dealing with older homes that weren't up
to energy codes and things like that. So they've developed
the knowledge of these things that they're looking for. Not
the guys that do the d R. Horton holmes that are.
You know, that's a municipal inspector's issue. If they're missing stuff, Okay,
they need to address that, okay, But especially in an
industry where even the electricians in certain states don't even
have good licensure or good requirements, that's kind of scary
as well.
Speaker 2: Ok But.
Speaker 3: Anyway, so I think home inspectors bring an incredible value
to the industry. I think they give electricians a set
of eyes. I think they bring revenue to the electrician.
I think that home inspectors can call out things. I
do believe that you have to do things in a
way that you're not an alarmist unless it is truly
something that's very serious. Now, maybe the fact that the
vast majority of the inspection reports uh. And by the way,
I did learn that that Inspector Preston has an inspection software.
Y'all might want to reach out to him if you're
a home inspector and talk to him about software because
I believe he created some software that is uh. You
know that again, who better to buy software from from
a guy who's used to been doing inspections for a
long time, is very knowledgeable. So I mean, dude, if
you're a home inspector and you want a good reporting software,
I check you out Inspector Preston. I'm you you won't
be hard to find him on on TikTok or other
social media platforms. Factor you just google Inspector Preston, New
York and you'll be able to find him and see
what he's got. I don't know, we didn't talk about it,
but you know, see what he's got to offer if
you're in if you're in that industry, home inspections. So
kind of to summarize here my thoughts on home inspectors.
One to all the electricians out there that will be
hating on home inspectors. Look, they're not all created equal.
I get it, neither all the electricians. All you got
to do is spend a couple hours on TikTok, Instagram, whatever,
and you realize that people post the dumbest shit and
they don't even check it for violation. And I'm gonna
be honest with you, you are not a good electrician. You
can be the best looking work in the world, you
can do, run the best runs of conduit, you could
do the all world. That doesn't make you a great electrician.
I don't care what you say. I don't care you
do commercial only doesn't make you better than residential. You
do industrial doesn't make you better than residential or commercial.
You do service that make you a lesser of an
electrician than anybody that does. Make It's all electrical. The
electrons don't know any different.
Speaker 2: That's it. That's it. So at the end of the day.
Speaker 3: When you think about it, home inspectors bring value to
every electrician as another set of eyes. And you know what,
as an electrician, you're out there to correct the issues,
but you don't have to flame things out so badly
unless they are legit. So that means it means you
need to increase your training. You need to think about
how you report things on your report. If it's obviously
a serious issue, you call it out right, you know, so.
Speaker 2: It's it's all relevant.
Speaker 3: But I think home inspectors bring an incredible value to
the industry.
Speaker 2: The good ones.
Speaker 3: The bad ones can hurt the industry, and so the
good ones, you know, And what hurts the industry is
instead of the electricians embracing the home inspectors saying they
make me a lot of money, okay, because that's how
I think they bring make me a lot of money.
And I'm not here to justify what they put in
the report. I'm just here to answer and give my
expert opinion on the report that my client hired me for.
I'm not going to bash the home inspector. I'm not
going to say they suck or they don't need to
be doing this, So that is none of my customer's business, zero,
none of their business. All I'm here to do is
give my opinion.
Speaker 2: That's it.
Speaker 3: And I think that's where people have a problem. The
buyer in the seller are negotiating. The seller hires an
electrician to look at the report that the buyer's inspector generated, right,
and then they look at this report, and the electrician,
who's feeling like they have a fiduciary responsibility to this seller,
starts bashing the home inspector because they're part of a
different party. You shouldn't be doing that, I'm telling you
right now, electricians, you should not be doing that. Be professional.
Just look at the report, address each item. If something
looks really crazy, you can still address it tactfully and say,
in my professional opinion, I don't think this is a
concern you need to worry about. And I'll give you
the language that you can reply back to the buyer
with it based on your professional opinion.
Speaker 2: Now, if the.
Speaker 3: Buyer wants to take the home inspector's decision or over
the electrician who's the professional, then that's that's between them.
That's part of the negotiation. I don't get involved in that,
because you know the seller's gonna the buyer is going
to say, oh, sure, the electrician would say that because
he's representing the buyer. This is why I talk about
integrity all the time when I say that as the
electrician it's hired, or as the inspector, I am not
on camp anybody. I'm not on Camp seller, I'm not
on Camp buyer. I'm an independent third party sent there
to do an evaluation. I don't give a crap whether
the person buys a home or doesn't buys a home.
Speaker 2: I don't care.
Speaker 3: And so when I walk into that situation, I make
it very clear I'm going to give you an opinion.
Speaker 2: On what I see. That's it.
Speaker 3: I'm not going to sway it either way. Don't ask
me to write something in a certain way that's more persuasive.
I'm going to be professional in my report, and I
expect the electrician to do the exact same thing. Sadly,
that's not what we see, and that is why the
industry gets tainted because a vast majority of electricians will
make derogatory comments about home inspectors. But we're starting to
see a lot of electricians like Terrence. Terrence comes to
our coffee hours he's a you know, you know, been
a follower a long time. Last night in the chat
he made it clear that he says, dude, I don't
say anything. I make good money from the home inspectors. Absolutely,
that's the mentality you need to have. You don't need
to bash them, just answer and dress the questions professionally.
That's why I recommend trade hog because you can write
something out, then you pop it in trade hog and
ask it to translate it into something more professional. It'll
keep it technical and it'll give you a translation. That's
really the office Hog, which is the back end that
you use for things like that. But the point is tactfulness.
You don't need to be an alarmist unless it's truly
something to be alarmed. Now, maybe do that the home
spector just doesn't know, and he is an alarmist because
he or she doesn't know. Well, that's where you need
to get more education. Okay, more education in what you do.
And it takes me back to the beginning of this podcast.
Speaker 2: The associations. The associations have training.
Speaker 3: They need to do better if you feel like they're lacking,
but I think they do a pretty good job. Whether
it's ashi or Nachi or whatever. I think as far
as an association, I think that all home inspectors should
at least take the National Home Inspector Exam.
Speaker 2: I believe you. I believe every home inspector should take
that and pass it. I passed it.
Speaker 3: I believe everybody should pass it, regardless of the association
you're in. Regardless because it's a pretty tough little test
for home inspectors and you need to be tested.
Speaker 2: I'm serious.
Speaker 3: So anyway, that's my thoughts on that. Hope you enjoyed
something in today's podcast. Take it away from you again. Electricians,
stop bashing home inspectors. Home inspectors, stop bashing electricians. Home inspectors.
Be very tactful in your reports and be very professional Electricians.
Just answer what they put. Don't interject your personal feelings
into it. Just address it and give your personal opinion.
If you disagree, that's fine. It's okay to disagree, but
you don't need to embellish it. Stop bashing. Stay professional.
Kick and people say, wow, Paul saying that with the
crap he says on social media, that's right, because I'm
neither the electrician or the home inspector. I'm just a
talking head on the Internet. That's it, so I can
say what the hell I want to say. All right,
All right, folks, untill next time, Stay safe, God blessed,
and we'll catch you on another episode of Master the NEC.
