You ain’t kidding. I need a shot in my shoulder every six months. I just got done taking the carpet out in two rooms and installed vinyl plank flooring. Now she wants to have the third room done. Talk about a workout for a new knee that is only 6 months old. LOL
I’m suprised You can even do that with a new knee Marcel…
Gel filled knee pads and a small 10" stool to cut on and to prop myself up. LOL
Thank you.
However, What are your intentions here without being a member?
I’m hoping you do realize that being a “Scab” …Most of us don’t trust you…Yep!
If you can do it in only 2 sentences…
I don’t think you can…Nope!
I’m on my phone so excuse the typos and the grammatical errors
where there is a will there is a way I guess…
Are you on strike? I never ask you to trust me. That is why I provide reference to my statements.
My intent is to inform Ohio home inspectors that they are being lied to about being able to inspect the inside of an electrical panel without being state certified.
If the state did not give electricians the right to inspect the inside of electrical panels what makes you think that a home inspector could without testing?
Again, under the new law a home inspector can inspect all readily accessible components of an electrical system for material defects. A Licensed Electrical Contractor can not. I think that information would be of great value to an Ohio home inspector. Don’t you?
Ohio limits home inspections to readily accessible components and systems. Why is that hard to understand? I can see if a home inspector was confused about readily accessible if they were using the 2011 NEC. Since that, the definition has changed twice to make it ‘clear’ what readily accessible means. If you need a tool (screwdriver) its not readily accessible. I guess if you could use your fingernail, or the 6 million dollar man, to get the screws off then I would have a hard time arguing against you.
A screwdriver is a tool.
Here is a picture from an electrical inspection this week. The screw was missing making the disconnect readily accessible. A code violation however it is also a safety concern. So fair game for a home inspector.
There is only one person in this thread that has an ulterior motive, has been demonstrated to be deceitful and has continued to make false claims despite their being debunked by the same state agency that holds his license.
Eventually, one of the Ohio inspectors is apt to report your activities to your licensing body.
You’re neither competent nor qualified to tell home inspectors what they can and cannot do.

Funny that they already know!
I’m in Ohio you are not.
I’m licensed in Ohio you are not.
I’m certified in Ohio you are not.
You are just ‘NOT’ Chuck! The more you try the more I laugh. What’s your license # in Ohio?
State of Ohio says that I can!
Go ahead and file a complaint! I can more than defend my statements in or out of court.
LOL
Where? Regulating home inspectors is most definitely not within the scope of what a certified electrical safety inspector is qualified to do. It’s a pretty narrow job definition.
An individual who is certified in accordance with division (E) of section 3781.10 and section 3783.03 of the Revised Code and rule 4101:7-3-01 of the Administrative Code to determine compliance of electrical system work with the approved construction documents.
That’s it! You don’t regulate home inspectors and you are neither qualified nor competent to tell home inspectors what they can and cannot do in Ohio or any other place. I’m not even convinced you’re competent as an ESI, I certainly don’t believe you’re competent as a home inspector.
I think somebody is suffering from Napoleon Complex.

No one huh?
I guess just a lonely fellow.
OR… … …
Lack of self-esteem is a cause for attention-seeking behavior
So as an ESI you have no issue with a known code violation? IIRC you have stated before that doubled neutrals are not an issue. Seems contradictory to what an inspector should be saying instead of enforcing the adopted code.
The more I think about this law the more confused I think it is. A specialist with training and knowledge cannot cite the code they are governed by, but a generalist can state opinions about the electrical system has alleged defects even though it may meet code.
