I think you meant to type "GFCI", no? I don't think my client wants to
pay for them fancy newfangled GRCI breakers ...


Yeah why bother installing something that saves lives, bet they want
to save bucks on their new vehicle by deleting safety belts? and why
not remove and sell off the air bags too.

hey wonder what the courts would say if dave here did some remodeling
in kitchen or bath and didnt install GFCIs.

later a hairdryer drops in the tub and a child dies.

happy go lucky dave losses everything he owns.........

would he be criminally liable? but he did save the custmer a few
bucks....

I service machines for a living and have seen lots of safety hazards.

I REFUSE to work on a machine that has a gross safety hazard unless
the customer approves my correcting that safety issue as part of the
service....

what other things are installed so long ago without being replaced for
newer safer items. please name some I am interested?

Around here K&T has no boxes unless they were added at a later date.

the wires are soldered on and buried in walls where connections cant
be seen

if the solder joint detoriates for whatever reason it can overheat and
since its not in a box cause a fire..

plus K&T homes are lucky to have one outlet per room, which leads to
lots of trip hazards, idiots puttng extension cords under carpets and
overloaded circuits most K&T homes have very few seperate circuits.

lack of grounds is a biggie for me. a ungrounded but GFCI outlet can
cause computer troubles
