A few minutes ago I asked [[joel-jansen]] about [[units-takeoff|unit takeoff]],
|
|
specifically if I should provide a GFI for each bathroom
|
|
even if the receptacles are on the same circuit,
|
|
which he confirmed.
|
|
|
|
I was pleased at his response,
|
|
since it appeals to my sensibilities as electrician and estimator:
|
|
* A receptacle downstream of a GFI in another room is a bad install,
|
|
since it is unintuitive and inconvenient to troubleshoot.
|
|
* Because of the previous,
|
|
the EC may end up paying for the extra GFI's anyway,
|
|
either because of a missed specification, contract clause, etc.
|
|
or because production may assume they are required.
|
|
|
|
Noting my pleasure,
|
|
Joel commented that he is always glad
|
|
when he is able to give me directions
|
|
that I'm happy to receive.
|
|
|
|
I didn't acknowledge the comment at first,
|
|
but now I wonder at the implication.
|
|
I don't want to be a downer
|
|
or a difficult person to give feedback.
