How is that a bad safety measure? if not close enough, people will use extension cords, which will be significantly more dangerous than proper outlets.

- treis 4y agoThere's an outlet 2.5 feet away. No need for an extension cord.
- mikeyouse 4y agoOkay, what if it was 3 feet away? What about 3.5 feet away? At which point do they stop being overzealous? From a top-level comment: Everyone - everyone - is certain that the codes are all overzealous and their little thing needs an exception. You built something that wasn't to code and now you're sad that they told you that you did it wrong, but allowed it to stand because in their judgement it wasn't critical enough to have you rework it? The IRC is freely available, just read the code and follow it! It's dead simple. They even have pictures: https://cdn-codes-pdf.iccsafe.org/bundles/document/new_document_images/1722/IRC2021P1_Pt08_Ch39_SecE3901.4.1_FigE3901.4.1.jpg https://cdn-codes-pdf.iccsafe.org/bundles/document/new_docum...
