Re: bathroom outlet if GFI.

Mike, yes you can think you are a winner too. :)

As a matter of fact Mike, speaking of us NC people winning, I brought this years local Chili cook off Trophy home to NC which has been won a number of times by a professional group from Texas that comes up each year.

:D

BTW, I didn't use this in the Chili though. ;)

Once again I must ask: Huh???? :confused:
 
Re: bathroom outlet if GFI.

Eddie sorry if I offended you but when you said i was working in a residence,I took it for granted that you had experience in this field of the trade.
Allen,

After looking at the OP again I now agree with you that the question seems odd coming from a Journeyman electrician working in a dwelling. But as Eddy has reiterated, we should welcome all questions even if they seem rather obvious.

Allen, it's really nothing to be ashamed of. Some folks are even proud that they've been tested and passed. :D

But it doesn't make us any less of losers. :p

Congratulations on the chilly cook off. I too cook a pretty mean pot of chilly from time to time and can say from experience that a good pot of chilly cost a few dollars. :)
 
Re: bathroom outlet if GFI.

Hey we all come here for pretty much the same thing a place to ask questions ,a place to answer others questions and roger I`ll be the better man and say let by gones be by gones.As stated I only questioned the question when it was said that I was working in a residential job :confused: We can question DIY`S as to their qualifications to post here but not an electricians???If it was said from jump street hey I`m an industrial electrician and I am trying to help someone out these are the facts... well that would have been a diferent senario.I didn`t mean to offend anyone,if I did my apoligies.I still think of us as like doctors there are control/brain experts,there are structurual load counting/orthopedics and then there are all around general practitioners.I consider myself to be a G.P.I know enough to refer to the experts when the time comes.But I guess that is my own fault I went the G.P. side of the trade in the late 70`s early 80`s when work was scarce and not taken by choice but by what it took to get by.If I offended anyone again I apoligize.If anyone was offended by me well then thats in your pocket.I said what I mean and I mean what I say.
 
Re: bathroom outlet if GFI.

Gee Allen; only 32 years. I started my apprenticeship in July of 1960. I have worked residential, commercial, and industrial. I am with you 100% in terms of knowing when to ask questions. Obviously, the original poster does too. I might add that I am very proud to have passed the masters test in 1969 and in our State they have made that test easier since that point in time (at least I have been told that is the case)
 
Re: bathroom outlet if GFI.

I,ve been in the trade for about 5 years i got my journeyman card a couple off months ago and i worry about doing unsafe practices even if is code compliance, maybe after the first time doing it after i would not be nervous because i know i'm right. Just imagining a outlet being so close to tub just makes me imagine bad thing even it being gfi. In the theory videos mike holt had several guys from small electronic, fpl , electric companys,and more , and thay discussed how sometimes gfi had lots off problems so it made ask that question.
 
Re: bathroom outlet if GFI.

You should worry about even a gfci receptacle next to a tub.They can fail.But from a legal and nec standpoint they can be there.It's a time bomb just waiting for one stupid user and a defective gfci.

Re: bathroom outlet if GFI.

Eddy welcome to the forum.If I came across too srong I offer you my apologies.You will see that there are all to many DIY`S that represent themselves as one thing and as it turns out they are not part of this trade at all.Guess I should leave that in the proper hands of the moderators since they do an excelent job.
dlhoule well it`s nice to know I am not alone in the over 30 years in trade club :D

That's a good reason to make use of the NEC in discussions, as most who are not part of the trade or are not active generally don't have a current edition of the codebook, or at least don't make use of it. And given that the headline reads "National Electrical Code Internet Connection" it makes sense to have a copy of the NEC handy. :)

Eddy, welcome to the forum. :D
