I mean, it’s not like people would check that dedicated webpage on their own, and they are less likely to click on that webpage to get the additional details. Just put it on the platform most people are using and don’t add extra steps to see what’s needed.

If they’re looking to Xitter it could be copy/pasted instead, but then updates get harder to manage.

In other* words

Wouldn’t a desk lamp make more sense?

For things that could use some decorative flair, I love looking at Facebook Marketplace and such to see what you can find used. There’s probably plenty of “not made like they used to” stuff around you, but honestly a lamp is just a bulb socket, connected to a cord, held in place by a body. The “reliable” stuff can be replaced with parts from Home Depot. Heck, I did that with a lamp I bought in Turkey (I’m in US) that had a European plug/socket on it just for compatibility reasons. Easy peasy.

1. Wat?

2. You got the job. What are your damages you would sue for?

That would explain why you posted this on Showerthoughts of all places.

Plugging a device into an outlet (be it a refrigerator, phone charger, or even an EV charge cord) does not require a permit. That’s normal expected use. Counters are not regulated by code. There is nothing to get a permit for in your example, and not because of the dollar amount.

Adding an outlet to support that device would to ensure proper wire gauge, space covered by the breaker, GFCI protection, and stuff like that is done correctly.

But to say that regulations don’t apply to homeowners is wrong. You likely don’t need to be a licensed electrician or plumber or whatever to work on your own home, but the regulations of what you do/how you do it almost certainly apply.

Erm, no? Most municipalities require building permits, even for homeowners to do work on their own home, and those permits require work be done to code.

Does that always happen? Of course not. I also went 5-10 over the speed limit on the freeway yesterday, but that doesn’t mean traffic regulations are for commercial vehicles only.

Anyone else in this boat?

It’s called a benchy, dude
