Re: Alumiconn
What I see is an old style SqD QO breaker. Did it have grooves on the handle? I also don't see any AL/CU labeling on it. It really doesn't matter now (if you flagged this on a 4pt)...the damage is...

Re: Wind Mitigation Missed Nails

There are special foam products to seal the conduit, but who knows what they used there. Standard electricians putty should be used.

Re: Bedroom Yes or No ?
Agreed. There is nothing in the current code that says a bedroom requires a closet. More than 70sf, natural light, fresh air ventilation, and emergency escape means are required.

Re: Moisture intrusion in Florida homes
The FBC requires that homes are protected from water infiltration. It's usually workmanship errors or subpar building materials that cause most of the problems. Stucco contractors are slowly learning...

Re: Neutral on breaker
It's not a neutral. It's a white wire on a breaker and part of a 240v circuit. Yes, a handle tie and identification is required. You also have tinned copper, cloth wiring in there.

Re: Using a Drone..
A lot less time than a hospital stay. You won't use one on every roof, just the ones you shouldn't be walking on anyway.
