Re: Larry Haun (1931-2011)

What a rotten year this is. So many legends have passed. Larry's articles were always the first thing I read in FHB, so grounded and clear.

He'll be missed by everyone in the FHB community.

A great loss, but a great life.

Re: Log Cabin Nightmare

Are inspections NOT mandatory in the USA ? Here in the UK, you can't break ground without an inspector watching. You HAVE to be inspected every inch of the way here.

Re: Play Fine Homebuilding's Game "The Inspector"

As an English player in this forum, this weeks electrical quiz is a stinker, most of what's permitted in the picture is illegal here ! Wire nuts are completely forbidden in our code for a start. Links in earths, not terminated in a permanent terminal are also illegal.
