I have two degrees in electrical/electronic engineering but I am not an electrician. I wired up a closet light not according to the NEC. I have taken reasonable care with this installation. I wish to debunk the electrician's belief in the Code. Dividing my yearly home insurance premium by the replacement value of my house, I get a ratio of 1/>500. I believe this is the chance that I will lose my home, for any reason, within a year. According to the mortality table, I have a 1/50 chance of dying within the next year. Therefore, since the odds of me dying is 10x the odds of my house catching fire, I don't have to worry about my nonstandard wiring; true or false or comments? Thanks. [Manage messages] |
