Default Tip and Tricks for electrical inspections

Tip and tricks for electrical inspections.

1. Carry a small magnet and check for nonferrous screws that are usually supplied with outdoor fixtures that are listed and exposed to the weather, and if you see a philips head securing an old fixture, that's a clue that there may be no box behind that fixture which is not good!

I will add more as I think of them, others can add their tips and tricks too.

Thanks, sometimes it's the easy things I forget.
