A local builder scheduled a rough inspection of a new single family home. The living and family area is a large 35' by 30' room with a large 12" column directly in the middle acting as a separation point for the two areas.
Some of my colleges feel that the column does not require a receptacle as no one side is at least 2' in width to qualify it as wall space. Others feel that section 210.52(A)(2)(1) clearly indicates a freestanding column of 12' on one side represents 4' of wall space. In effect, a column larger than 6" on all 4 sides is at least 2' of wall space
What is your say?
