Mike:


No, because they would have to be UL Listed "Susan B. Anthony" coins! ![icon_biggrin.gif](upload://iKNGSw3qcRIEmXySa8gItY6Gczg.gif)

PS: Seeing any AFCI's in any type buildings being used in Ohio?

I like your pictures, can I use them?

Your examples are good. Does Archie Bunker ring a bell?

"I like your pictures, can I use them?" YES

Joe I had to pay the "local yocals" to inspect this. Now that I have insulted them let me say that comment was for the goverment not the inspectors. The inspectors in the Columbus area are some of the most knowledgable inspectors around.

What was told to me. Quote "Mike we have to look for violations". does that tell you how good the contractors have to be?

Joe as with yours I only ask for money. LOL Yes to your question.

Joe for a while AFCI were not required---because the inspectors could not test them!

Thanks Mike:


Archie Bunker? No bell rings for me? ![icon_confused.gif](upload://qv5zppiN69qCk2Y6JzaFYhrff8S.gif)

Was he an electrical inspector at one time?

See this link for some information on AFCI's, etc, especially the defective tester.

Sorry Joe


I was so wrapped up in my own "smartness"? that I did not answer your question.

"Seriously, what do you think of the

It is a very good example of the difference in sizes.

How do I say this.

Most HI are "very" qualified.

Your information is posted to inform.

Mine are to scare.
