Re: diy beware

Well there are those who do work on their homes without permits and don't
get caught.

Then those who do work on their homes without a permit, get caught, then
file for the permits or correct the work as required.

But this guy did work without a permit, got caught, had a court ruling
ordering him to remedy the situation, then did not comply.

For the actual work he did, it seems silly for him to go to jail over this,
however there are a lot of people out there doing things to their homes
(house wiring, structural work, etc.) which will in the future be a danger
to people other than themselves. For example their family and people who may
buy the house in the future.

Building and electrical codes are mostly in place to protect life and
property. From thing like buildings falling down, fires, people being
electrocuted, etc.

So probably good to crack down on people like this as an example. But not
the best choice for making an example of if you ask me...
