I asked him if he followed NFPA 72 and 70 -his reply was NO! I only
follow NY State Residential Code _"I've been doing this for 10 years'!
"Not very well- appparently and IVE been doing it MORE."
I said - so you mean to tell me that Your Town Doesn't adopt the NFPA 72
and 70- REPLY:"I don'tKnow _I don't have a copy. Talk to my boss"
What an Asshole!
I pissed him off when I mentioned I'm a NYS License Instructor- he got
all flustered and huffy.
