    Is access to a junction box in a ceiling through a light fixture to code?

    Wrong. Can you explain a junction box in a drop ceiling? What you think of as accessible is readily accessible.

    Building Ground Question

    FPN's were not ever enforceable, and the term has been changed to informational note. So you're right, not necessary.

    Building Ground Question

    For those saying to bond the skin of the building, got an nec article number? Do you guys also bond aluminum siding, window trim, and gutters? The skin does not require a bond, imo.

    Silly question about Romex

    Exposed is ok normally, subject to damage is not. As stated above that's open to interpretation. If run horizontally at 4 ft I'd say probably no go more often than not. If run vertically then I'd say lower than 18 inches is probably a no go. That's just me and what I've installed in Michigan...

    Previous home owner was a handy man... I wouldn't hire him.

    FYI some fans are designed that way! Depends on the bracket.

    GFIC Breaker with a GFIC Receptacle?

    The code compliancy I spoke of, is in regards to the manufacturers instructions. Listing agencies require you to install per manufacturers instructions. Instructions state gfci receptacle, not gfci protected ckt. It's really splitting hairs, and most inspectors are good with something like that...

    GFIC Breaker with a GFIC Receptacle?

    Would it trip receptacle before the breaker? Tough to say, sometimes yes sometimes no. Would you be ok with just the breaker? Yes. Code compliant? Debateable. Imo just install it off of your gfi protected ckt.
