Any job worth doing, is worth doing right. Taking shortcuts to save a few bucks can be justified, but no one ever plans to have bad things happen. That's why there are laws and codes to be followed. You know what's a PITA? Being responsible for someones death or disfigurement, should something bad happen, and knowing you could have prevented it. That sucks.
I don't want to derail the thread, and that's certainly not my intent. I just think that it's very important to consider the applicable codes and laws before tackling a project.
