You really don't trigger a 3 way on a staircase if it has fewer than 6

the required switch on any wall in the room (or even outside the
room). It is a horrible design if it is not near the door but the NEC
is not a design manual.



Sometimes one wonders which hat the 'code' is pulled out of.

Friend is building a garage about 50 feet from his house. If no
electricity was installed he would not need an outside light, however by
putting power to the garage the building inspector insists that he have
an outside light.

The inspector also wants him to have the child proof recepticals
installed in it. A few other odd things seem to be required by this
inspector. My friend is not going to question the inspector, but just
going along with him. Probably a wise move.


I'd want the light anyway. No idea why you need childproof receptacles
though. The receptacles in the garage were all at 48" for convenience.
I put a GFCI circuit.

In my case, there was no inspector.
Tamperproofs are required pretty much everywhere now

Written or typed?* Written no excuse.* Typed, maybe.
Look where the s and x are on the keyboard.* I've been typing for nearly
60 years and my third finger sometimes hits excape.

The majority of what people call spelling errors in my posts are NOT
spelling errors but TYPING errors.
Like me. I have FFS (Fat Finger Syndrome)

I worked for a supervisor one time that mixed up his R and L. He even
spelled that way. For example if he wrote down Bloom, he ment Broom
like you sweep the floor with. A bruse on the arm was colored Brack and
Brue. He said the words like he spelled them.

He had a daughter that I went to school with . She was mostly ok, but
did seem to be about a brick ot two short of a load.

Both were good people and fun to be around.


You mean the Bluse on his alm was coroled Brack and Brue.

I find that with a lot of asians who can't get my name right - it
comes out Cralence - but they also usually spell my last name as

The lack of real-world literacy in America is appalling. Not all that
good in Canada either but I REALLY notice it in the USA. People also
say nuculous instead of nucleus. Then again, you Yanks forget the u in
Honour, Colour, and Humour all the time - - - -BG and your "ruff"
leaks in the rain (regional pronunciation - not spelling,) Eh?


My impression from his first post was they he was referring to written,
not spoken word. He was not kleer on that.

At about age 5, Milk was delivered to the door in bottles that were
sealed with a wire. I distinctly remember plugging that wire into one
of the outlets. Fortunately the thin wire exploded before I was shocked.

I recall the kindergarten teacher making a to-do about my burned fingers
that day!

I had an official tech manual with a schematic diagram of an astable

That's classic Chinglish or Japlish

It was a well written manual with lots of detailed information most
manuals don't supply. I think it was done jokingly as the rest of the
manual was very good technical writing.
