I already know that 100's if not 1,000's of electricians are laughing at him anyway. So it is all good....we have come to expect as much from the source...Carrio is someone I have no respect for and it is known.....so he does not bother me.

All,

Plagarism means that one has impuned the reputation of the author. No reference is needed, unless the quote is used for te purpose of making money. At that point, copyright infringement comes into play. I know these things as I am a published author. Educational settings, such as colleges, have taken the term to new heights in recent years. Still doesnt change the meaning of the word, however.

Nick,

If we lived in England, your reference would be relevent to the discussion. Since we dont, it isnt

yeah..and we know my thousands of FREE helpful posts have made me millions...much less posting a small blurb on a non-member area to help someone.....Seems when people try to help people they get harrassed for helping...no wonder more people refuse to help.

As per NEC 2008:
404.4 Damp or Wet Locations. A surface-mounted switch
or circuit breaker in a damp or wet location shall be enclosed
in a weatherproof enclosure or cabinet that shall
comply with 312.2. A flush-mounted switch or circuit
breaker in a damp or wet location shall be equipped with a
weatherproof cover. Switches shall not be installed within
wet locations in tub or shower spaces unless installed as
part of a listed tub or shower assembly.
Does the shower have a door on it, a curtin, or is the shower open. As an Commercial and Residential electrician these switches would not be located where they are in this picture. They should be mounted by the entry door to the shower room. The edge of the tile that is cloest to the switches begins the 3' rule so yes they are within the 3' area, but the 3' rule applies to lighting. (410.4 (D)) No matter how that passed inspection if it was even checked during the inspection there is a high chance of water getting into the switches, not to mention steam and water vapor.

just starting the inspection side of things here, but electric I know pretty good. Hope this helps out somewhat.
