My christmas present

[tom baker]

I got my copy of mike holts 2020 NEC changes book on christmas eve. A brief glance shows a lot of signifiant changes, and it seems like the code is getting easier to understand. I instructed code classes starting with the 96 code, every code cycle i would say there are more GFCI applications, now it easier to say whats not required to be GFCI.
I wonder how the homeowner DIYers find out the code requirements for wiring a new house?
Anyway merry christmas and a "happy" code year.

Home Owners and DIYers don't care about code requirements. They are happy if the lights go On/Off with switches. So am I, but that's not an NEC requirement.

I preordred code books and they still haven't arrived. This will be a "happy" code year. It is my last purchase of the NEC.

If wiring a new house as Tom mentions, HO's and DIYers will have to do some research. The 2017 was the last NEC I will buy. I am keeping my license active until 2022 but I am not buying the 2020.

I'll never stop buying them after putting up my tools. I gotta keep 'the collection' complete.

Most DIY find out about codes after an inspector gives then correction notices, whether it be electrical, plumbing or building code.
