I get mine through a MA contractors association.

When I get it through them it has the MA amendments installed in the front of the NEC.

shot, I forgot about Associations and State sponsors.

I am hoping no one will adopt it so that I won't need to buy a new one

I'll get it on discount when 2014 comes out. NYS will probably start referencing it a few years later than that, that'll give me plenty of time to brush up on it.

I think we should learn the first one before the next one comes out...

Just because NYS is still referencing the '99, I do not see how you can say that...:wink:

 

[Pierre C Belarge]

Maybe the real question should be...

Since most jurisdictions may not start referencing the '08 for a couple of years, are you going to purchase an '08 NEC?


This may be the first year that I do not go out and buy one in Sept. This way I will not have to worry about the Errata.

I am buying mine tommorrow in Alaska.

I buy one for myself that I use when I teach, and my office buys me one for my truck when I inspect. I will also buy the electronic version to use when I teach.

This poll is a mutli choice poll so vote often ...

Yeah, you're right. I was figuring it'd take NYS 8 years to acknowledge the 2008 cycle, but in reality it's probably more like 10. The residential code should reference the 2008 about a year after 2017 comes out.

you are only allowed one answer in your poll...I also buy one...

It is a company expense, but all these expenses effect my take home pay in one form or another. I will purchase a minimum of 5 or 6* for myself and several more for the employees.

1. Bathroom Home, maybe a 2nd one for downstairs bathroom.
2. Bathroom Work.
3. Night stand adjacent to my bed.
4. Living/rec/TV room book case.
5. Office.
6. Truck.

#2: It just shows up like "fruit of the month" !

Yeah ! . That's the one I want !
How do I sign up for that one ?

 

[celtic]

I don't understand the first option:

It is a personal expense to me !

How is that possible?
If one has any reason - that is job related - to purchase a code book, it's a write-off....just like boots, tools, pencils and paperweights
Are there people that just like to read lenghty works of non-fiction with no apparent plot
