I wasted 15 hours 3 weeks ago doing mine, it was brutal. It would be nice if they would climb into the 21st century and offer them online.
Wasted another 4 hours this morning doing the Connecticut Code review. That one's even worse because we have to do it every year. At least CT is finally on the 2011 as of 2/28. Doing a class every year on the '05 was getting pretty old.

I really enjoy our setup here. We have a local chapter of the state organization-North Carolina Association of Electrical Contractors. We meet once a month and get an hour credit for every meeting. Generally our meetings go between 2-2.5 hours and we discuss code the entire time. It is good because we have continuity month to month and it all isn't crammed down your throat in a day or 2. We usually get 2 inspectors from the area to come also so that really helps with relationships between the ec's and inspection department. We meet 10 times a year- off for the summer

Same here. Once a month, 6pm-9pm, dinner include, and you get 2 CEU's per meet. They do 8 a year and you need 12 CEU's to keep your license. Great place to learn the code, and get different views from inspectors and contractors.

I'd take it, how much?
Speaking of that, does Indiana still not require AFCI's?

I don't get that amendment. I assume it's because people sleep in there. People don't fall asleep on their couches?
This is why AFCI's bug me so much. If they are supposed to make things safer, why wouldn't you require them everywhere. It's like a token code.

Did they hire Jonas Nightingale as their speaker to preach the gospel of the AFCI
Okay so here is one of my questions.
AFCIs are expanded to include all 120 volt 15 and 20 amp outlets and devices in kitchens.
210.8(D) is added to require GFCIs for dishwashers in dwelling units.
GFCI devices must be readily accessible (also per 210.8)
So is the solution to this to supply the dishwasher circuit off of an AFCI breaker and stick a GFCI under the sink, and then cord-and-plug connect the dishwasher through a hole in the cabinet? What if the dishwasher isn't adjacent to the sink for some odd reason or another? AFCI breaker, dead front GFCI at the panel, and then a regular receptacle or hardwired connection at the appliance?
What's y'alls plan on this?

Be careful, I've read that some AHJ's are not considering the sink cabinet as readily accessible.
So then WTF do we do in that scenario? Installing dead front GFCIs by a panel during rough-in is possible but that's ghetto as hell for new construction.
