I guess you could say they were bump-proof.

LOL that's funny!

It may have been a problem if the garage remote failed

there's a remote possibility of that happening!

Assembling the frame.



Bout to put it in but uh, oh, wall isn't plumb.



Have to remove the baseboard tile to make it fit; damage some corner bead too. Oh well, easily fixed.



Installed with door. We'll come back to apply some glazing tomorrow.



Speaking of glazing, electric caulk/adhesive guns make it a breeze.

I wasn't even aware of the existence of an elecgric caulking gun. Nice

You mean you don't enjoy troubleshooting someone else's cluster? I can't think of a better way to spend a few hours. Chasing wires, inspecting every single connection, trying to make sense of someone else's work, etc.

This is exactly the reason i like it when i see an installation like

Now that is a professional installation by someone who cares about what they do.

It looks like the inside of my computer.

That's rather odd looking and I say that because it looks like electrical not low voltage.

And if that is electrical and it's commercial, that's an example of a major code violation.

It is not low voltage and I don't think it is a code violation either, but it is an odd way of running wires. Obviously based on the jackets this is in Canada and inside a residence so no codes broken that I know of because you can run Romex outside of conduit.

That display shows professionalism, in my opinion. The tradey who did that is well trained and organized. Makes it simple for future service personnel to determine correct wiring. Color coding is very smart. If you are the next service person, you will be ever so thankful to your predecessor.

I have seen this image before and a friend who is an electrician says there are too many circuits for that panel.

If that is NM cable, commonly known as Romex, then many of those runs are a violation of the NEC 334.24 which requires the inner edge of any bend to be no less than 5 times the diameter of the cable.

And this is why I am glad my low voltage license test was book. And speaking of NEC/NFPA 70, here are some requirements for panic hardware that you may not be familiar with.

Quote Canadaian code.

If you are willing to pay for the code $180 I will gladly interpret it for you.

The primary reason I subscribed to the NFPA manuals 70, 72 and 101 is I needed them to pass my state EF license test.

Also FWIW unlike Canada the NFPA now allows any of it's codes to be accessed on-line for no charge.
