Does anyone know of a quick way to get the 2005 code changes. I am ordering the book, but need to start looking at the changes right now for a meeting. No one locally has the book of changes (barns & noble, b.dalton, etc.).

Re: 2005 Electrical Code Changes
Mike Holt published one. You can see it here.
You can also get one from Construction Book Express.
Do a Google search for "NEC 2005 Changes" and you will find several others.

Re: 2005 Electrical Code Changes
Most of the changes are indicated by the use of a vertical line in the margin next to the section that was changed in the code book. The vertical line, in the 2005 code book, will cover a complete paragraph even if only one word was changed. Also, not all of the changes are so marked.

NFPA now has the full NEC text online and free. Although, it's not the most convient way to look throught the NEC, if there is some specific article you are looking for it might work until you can get your book in the mail.

One of the most noticeable changes in the NEC is the color.

The IAEI Analysis of Changes 2005 is also very good.

Re: 2005 Electrical Code Changes
I would go with Mike's book on the 2005 changes. I have his 2002 version and will get the 2005 at a code update class next month. I'm assuming that the 2005 will be as great as the 2002.
This is my biggest complaint about the 2005 NEC Handbook. It lacks the lines along the margins.

Re: 2005 Electrical Code Changes
My favorite change was the placement of the article number at the top of each page.

Re: 2005 Electrical Code Changes
I agree, such a simple and great idea that is a big help when looking for a section.

Having the section numbers on the top of the page has helped me enough, that I did not put tabs in the '05 version.
