Bobby,
This is another one pf those instances where we have been told not to
"pass-thru" this room so many times we just go along to get along.I have
requested on many ocassions the chapter & verse in the electrical codes
that does not allow it but did not get it.
PLEASE make someone tell you why,other than it's a good idea.I would
like to finally know.
