I'm not trying to be quarrelsome when I say that when any home owner
does anything in their home that violates the law that act is not
covered by the homes insurance.


I'm not disputing that - but did you read what that fool wrote? He'd have us
believe that for a homeowner to do *anything* at all to the home's electrical
system, whether Code-compliant or not, would void the insurance coverage.

Nobody ever left footprints in the sands of time by sitting on his butt.
And who wants to leave buttprints in the sands of time?

Yes, your right. He overstates the risk in rather reckless terms.

I only wanted to point out that you can in fact suffer an uninsured loss
if you do your own electrical work while failing to comply with adopted
code and that unlawful work causes a loss.

I do that to inform people of the risk of an uninsured loss rather than
to try and intimidate people out of doing there own work. I work with
sweat equity projects all the time and I support the right of
responsible home owners to work on their own homes when they are willing
to take the time to learn to do it right.
