and @NTP2 :So you do not have the Right for DIY or self repair ?
Edit: that would be like me not being able to buy an Air Filter or MAF sensor for my car at the auto store to save the AES technician's job?
and @NTP2 :
We do have the right to do DIY, but some things need to be validated / inspected / signed off by a qualified person in the field. But you need to have a certain level of know-how to do it, a certain level of competency, etc.. technically, when I get toe h check-out, the cashier is supposed o ask for my trade card, to ensure I am qualified to buy and install whatever I bought.
You've redone your basement workshop, and have 12 outlets on a single 15A circuit.. Is that OK?
Or, you've hacked a 2" notch in the bottom of each floor joist to run a pipe.. Is that OK?
Or, you've installed an ABS sanitary Tee between 3 PVC pipes.. Is that OK? and is the sanitary Tee upside down? (is there a difference?!?)
How long should a nail be to join 2 pieces of wood? What there's a rule for that?!?!
Why is it wrong?
I would assume it's the same in any jurisdiction. That any work has to conform to the local laws & regulations. It's on the owner / worker to ensure the work is done to a certain level of quality & competency. And in the case of an accident / issue, the courts / insurance can deny you coverage because the work wasn't done by someone qualified.. that's what they are trying to maintain, safety and that the work is done per code & local laws..
It's also a ploy to help the trade unions maintain their workers & work fees & such..

200 LF of 18AWG wire for a heater...... I'd call that evolution..... I always thought that the helmet law in CA was a contributing factor to all the crazies alive there...813.. how people can't see their mistakes, or fail to understand how something is suppose dot work..
But then again, it is technically illegal for me (here in Quebec) to go into a hardware store to buy anything electrical or plumbing.. First off, to save the trade jobs of those who have their ticket.. (I'm neither a registered electrician nor plumber) but more so to stop people from doing stupid (and potentially deadly) things.. like running a 200' of 18AWG 'lamp wire' to run a heater!
Actually, that's the same here. for many types of work, and probably for some types of work that I don't know. When my electric dryer died in the first house that I owned, with a load of wet laundry in it, I went out and bought a new gas dryer and all the black iron pipe (and pink tef tape that's labeled for use with gas) that I needed to install it the way I wanted. I replaced an elbow in the line to the furnace with a tee, ran new pipe around to where the dryer goes, with a tee before it under where the new range would eventually be, a tee for the dryer, and pipe extending to the electric water heater preparing for the day that it would need replacing. A plug in the range tee and a cap over the end of the pipe. All that with no permit, because it was Saturday. Called the town building inspector on Monday, he came out, checked the work, and signed it off. Said doing it before the permit because it was the weekend is perfectly normal, but didn't say whether or not it's technically legal. When I installed the new gas range a couple of years later, he told me 1) I had done it wrong on two points, and 2) what I did was safe and the code is dumb, but rules are rules. I fixed it, he signed it off. On the other hand, I've done wiring in my house many times that probably should have been inspected and signed off, but I've never bothered.We do have the right to do DIY, but some things need to be validated / inspected / signed off by a qualified person in the field.
Oh, yeah, that too. When I moved into the house above, the electric range was so covered in polymerized rancid grease that I had to take it out into the back yard and cover it with oven cleaner, and let that work while I sanded the walls. I found that the contractor had used aluminum wire (legal when the house was built) from the breaker to the range, and jammed it into the terminal block on the range that clearly said "Copper wire only". I added coper pigtails, with the proper anti-oxidant grease and all that stuff, before putting the range back.I've seen a ton of scary, not even close to code stuff done on my house by the original builders. Presumably, they were pros and it got inspected. Anything I have to work on, I leave a lot better than I find it.
It seems to me that when it comes to house contractors and auto mechanics, "pro" is effectively a word that means someone whose time is so expensive they can't be bothered to take the extra time to do things right.

INCONCIEVABLE!My wife hates that movie. Don't think she likes Spaceballs either. Probably because they are a little immature, even though she watches TV news, currently.
I think Mel Brooks was/is a genius.
Wrap in thin sliced beef, drizzle with some sort of Japanese sauce and grill (Negi-Maki) Love the stuff, yet also not an Asparagus fanThat's my personal hell, unless there is a band. I can handle crowds for a band, but I still don't have to talk to people.
Drizzle it with olive oil, wrap in bacon, gril it and add some Romano and black pepper so it doesn't taste like asparagus anymore.
OMG! Wacky Packks! I loved those things! Used to get em at local Rexxal
Hockey??? Thats Mr Roper
