I was sitting here watching treemasters on animal planet and of course started thinking about the electic.Was curious if any of you have wired a treehouse to code?

Arc Faults if they make a sleeping bedroom in it ?
GFCI's Everywhere ?
Is it a dwelling ?
How do you mount the feeder that goes up to it knowing that the trees will move?

From the picture, trying to get this old inspector with bad legs up those stairs might be the biggest challenge.

I noticed the lettering looks Japanese, then I saw that the spiral staircase doesn't appear to have a handrail. I've heard that they don't have that kind of safety stuff in Japanese building codes, so who knows what they'd expect for electrical...

Does photoshopped come to mind?


That was a suspicion I had. Heck no telling what is real on the web. Are you really from across the pond? Are you really a male? :lol:

There is a whole bunch of houses that are bizarre. When my daughter was in southeast asia she sent poics back of some very weird homes. This was not one of them. I'll see if I still have them. At jiffy lube now so it may be a while not a jiffy. :D

I searched up and down the web and could not find any website that could state where that home was located. There were many sites with that home and others but they appear to be bogus.

No!!! I'm not from across the pond. YOU are!!
:p

Male?
I'll leave to my wife to vouch for that.

But, slightly more seriously, you do have a valid point. Any sort of junk can be claimed on the net.
How can you be certain that I'm not a lady boy from Bangkok (an aptly named place if ever there was one) or a world famous F1 driver. Or both?

Rhetorical but I'll answer it anyway. I'm neither and I don't for a moment think I could convince otherwise you on either count.

So you'll just have take me for what I am on the basis of what I post here...............a grumpy old bar steward with a bit of electrical knowledge, enough to fry a cat, and a sense of humour that doesn't translate well.
WYSIWYG,,,,,,,,,,,,,:D

Don't feel compelled to believe that your sense of humour gets lost in translation necessarily.

Based on personal experience I have found that truly great humour is often unrecognized.

Yes, I'm sure you're right. It isn't just across an ocean. The physical one that is.

Inspection? One town that I worked in, the inspectors had a special tool. There was an arrow suspended from the ceiling with a "green" (passed inspection) tag on it. Notation pointing to arrow: "for rainy days" ! :D
