Some of us believe that property rights have something to do with it. That those property rights mean we have the right to do more than just pay property taxes and listen to a lot of bureaucrats tell us what we can and can not do with our homes, land, swamps, children, minds and automobiles. The NEC is a good thing. But it has become more than just an electrical standard for safety purposes. If you have ever stood an electrical inspection - and I have stood a bunch of them - you would know that a lot of the code requirements are rather over the top. They are there to scare people away from doing anything beyond changing a light bulb and thereby insure the employment of licensed electricians. I had a pretty good hunch that what I was doing was safe but wanted to get a second opinion on that. I know it is not code. Code only allows 3% drop in voltage whereas I will likely have 4 or 5%. I plan to use my building maybe 10 days a year. It is in a remote location where no one is likely to be harmed should something go wrong. I am using resistance heating where that voltage drop isn't so important. But try to explain that to a bureaucrat who is not allowed to use reason and can only require strict adherance to a formula. My home and everything in it is up to code. It had to be to pass all the inspection when I added on a few years ago. But my deer stand? Well my deer stand might not pass. But you know what? I really don't care. In fact I kind of get a kick out of defying the nanny state once in a while. It kind of makes me feel free, ya know? Go ahead and live your life correctly in all regards. According to your lights. You'll get no complaints from me. But also please understand that not all of us have your same doubts and fears. Some of us go courageously through life - not looking for trouble or harm but confident in our own wits and wherewithal. Billy Bob
