  • Are you aware of a curriculum that would include a new home layout and all the areas of the NEC that would address the electrical layout of the home?

    Check out Ray Mullins book, published by Delmar Publishers. He's a good friend of mine and his book should meet your needs.

    Mike is right about the Ray Mullins book. I hate to say it, I studied one or two of them when I was in late High School, ("GULP" ± 40 years ago!) I do not recall a single thing that was leadin gme wrong after all these years.
