Well, the cost of keeping a website on the air did not go down with the price of gas! The forum owner is utilizing his air time for a little support!

Yeah, it was just strange seeing it in my post. That was new.
I still don't understand why/how it appears & re-appears... very strange.

I think it shows up in the first post of the page, which changes as more posts are added.

Yup, I've noticed that too. Sucks because FF Ad Block Plus does not recognize it as an ad.

I vote for having the ad appear in every one of Frenchie's post.

Is the NM standard colors? White NM 14 awg and the yellow 12 awg?
If so, the 20A outlet violates 210.21(B)1

That is real close but the section would be Table 210.21(B)(3)

Do I get a cut of the action?

Ok,
I'll open myself up for abuse. I'll go for it looks like the runs are stacked and stapled more than 2 deep, the bend radii look tight and the receptical box looks like it isn't very securely mounted.

Add not all cables are stapled within 12 inches of panel.
My addition; 20A outlet being fed with 14 gage NM, No one else seemed to mention this.

That is because it is on a 15A breaker so it is a moot point.

How do you figure? Its a code violation, Only a single receptacle on an individual branch circuit shall have an amprere rating not less than that of the branch circuit.

I will pay you some attention when it seems no one else will. Close but maybe not close enough.

ok, then is the third one that the cables need to be stapled within 12" of the panel and not that the recepticle box is half on/half off of the strandboard?

Ha-ha, too bad in the pic its a duplex and NOT a single receptacle, check out art 100 definitions, Also, check out Table 210.21(B)(3). A 20 amp DUPLEX receptacle is a code violation when supplied from a 15 amp circuit, Where a 20 amp SINGLE receptacle can be supplied from a 15 amp individual branch circuit.

Chris, that table only applies when branch circuit supplies 2 or more receptacles or outlets.
If you looked inside this panel, like I did, you would see that this receptacle was on a dedicated circuit and supplied no other receptacles.
Keep reading, it is a good learning experience for both of us.

Do you understand the difference between a single receptacle and a duplex receptacle?
Receptacle. A receptacle is a contact device installed at the outlet for the connection of
an attachment plug. A single receptacle is a single contact device with no other contact
device on the same yoke. A multiple receptacle is two or more contact devices on the
same yoke
