Things Found On The SOLDIER Bulletin Board Before It Got Banned

Also known among the operatives as "Exhibit A in HR's Case Against Us" and "Why Lazard drinks"

• An old timey style wanted poster of Sephiroth.

• A Shinra Crypto Pyramid Scheme Recruitment Poster: "Get rich! Ask me how!" flyer definitely not put up by Genesis.

• A candid, casual shot of Angeal in a towel, with a sticky note on it that reads "This man's physique is impeccable and we should all strive to look like him - Kunsel"

• An unofficial and deeply Inappropriate SOLDIER length ranking. A full infographic-style chart titled "Who's Really First Class?" — featuring stylized silhouettes, pixelated measurements, very unscientific bar graphs, with one bar labeled "??? (Sephiroth)" that pierced through the top of the page and kept going onto the wall behind.

• A heavily redacted mission report re-titled "How To Get Bitches In Wall Market" By Roche. Accompanied by a pinned photo of Roche, Zack, Kunsel and Cloud in front of the Honeybee Inn doing a thumbs up. Entire paragraphs blacked out with Sharpie by Lazard.

• A sign reading: "STOP SCREAMING IN THE AIR DUCTS." Below it: a list of times screams were heard, organized by pitch. "3:12 AM – Zack: "YOU'LL NEVER CATCH ME ALIVE," 4:47 AM – Genesis: operatic shriek followed by "What an ADORABLE rat!",, "2:16 PM – Kunsel: 🎶 Vent mann, he's in the vents 🎶 Who's gonna tell 'im he can't be in the vents? 🎶

• A complaint letter written entirely in Wingdings. No one could decipher what it said, but Sephiroth pinned it dead center with his sword and left it there for a week. Genesis claimed it translated to "STOP LEAVING RAW EGGS IN THE SHOWERS. THE HOT WATER IS COOKING THEM."

• "Kunsel Knows" Weekly Gossip Column. Typed, laminated, and mysteriously accurate. This week's headline: "Rufus and Tseng: Covert Lovers?" Kunsel denies authorship every time while distributing fresh copies.

• A photo labeled "Sephiroth, age 6." Except it was clearly taken recently. Featured a photo of Sephiroth happily filling a coloring page while eating animal crackers.

• A prayer candle with Lazard's face on it nailed to the bulletin board. Taped under the header: "Our Administrative Savior, Deliver Us From Overtime." Lit regularly by Angeal. Burned through the wall once. No one confessed.

• "Sign Up for the Shirtless Sparring Tournament!" flyer sponsored unofficially by Zack. Angeal's name was written 42 times all in different handwriting by different people. Among them was noticeably Sephiroth's handwriting 12 times.

• An updated Lost and Found photo collage of strange things retrieved from the training room. Notable entries included: A weaponized tree branch with "property of Sephiroth" carved into it, an Angeal body pillow, a molotov cocktail, a Genesis-themed rubber duck, Cloud Strife looking confused, and a suspicious flashlight.

• A flyer titled: "Genesis Says He Can Fly Now, Come Watch at Noon"

• A very official-looking memo from HR titled "You Are Not Allowed To Challenge Sephiroth To Arm Wrestling, Ever Again."

• A letter addressed to Lazard written entirely in glitter pen that read only: "You can't fire us all. ❤️"

• A laminated page titled "Forbidden Moves Banned From Sparring" Included: A photo of Sephiroth and Genesis beating each other with makeshift marker swords.

• Two photos pinned side by side: one of Sephiroth and the other of ex-turk Vincent Valentine. People would gather around while Kunsel divulged his theories using a presentation pointer stick.

[delicateperspective]

So now she wants to be a popstar??!?!

So, theres now a new article from the Sun, and it’s honestly hilarious how bold they’re being. Like, they’re not even trying to sell us a love story any more. No “forever and always,” no “Louis has found The One.” Nope, it’s straight-up, “This is probably good for her career.”

I mean, at least they’re honest?

They’re literally hyping Zara for “dating up” and calling this relationship a “clever move” to help her focus on her “true passion”—music. Because apparently, being linked to Louis gives her a better shot at a chart-topping career than, you know, actual talent. They’re not even hiding that this is a PR chess move.

The funniest part? They’re not even trying to make this seem long-term. It’s all about short-term benefits: getting Zara back into music and boosting her profile. Louis is basically just a stepping stone, and they’re not even sugarcoating it.

Look, we don’t know why Louis agreed to this—maybe it’s tied to contracts, favors, or something bigger we don’t see yet. Remember how wild Holilva seemed until we figured out that A*off had financial stake in DWD and then we got My Policeman which seemed like some sort of tradeoff? Same chaotic vibes here.

So yeah, it’s messy. It’s obvious. But stunts like this are rarely random. Zara’s getting her career boost, the tabloids are eating it up, and Louis? Well, we’ll see what his angle is soon enough. Until then, let’s just laugh at how unsubtle this is and keep the Faith in the Future

OH AND DONT GIVE THE SUN CLICKS.

ONE DIRECTION 

The secret reason why Zara McDermott grew close to Louis Tomlinson and the clever way she always ‘dates up’

Zara's true passion has taken a back seat in recent years, insiders say

Dan Cain, Senior Showbiz Reporter

Published: 12:48, 18 Mar 2025

Updated: 12:48, 18 Mar 2025

LUCKY in love Zara McDermott has scored herself a pop prince after she was snapped on a date.

And we can reveal the secret reason she’s growing close to new man Louis Tomlinson, 33.

The Love Island beauty, who split from ex-boyfriend Sam Thompson over Christmas, was pictured with Louis at a hotel in Aldeburgh, Suffolk, just days after One Direction fans began speculating they were an item.

Though it’s still very early days, onlookers said they looked a happy couple as they giggled while drinking cocktails and eating fish and chips.

The pair stayed at the £315-a-night hotel before travelling to London the next day.

The stunning duo have all the attributes to become the new showbiz power couple, thanks to his huge global One Direction fanbase and her ties to the popular Love Island and reality TV market.

And a romance with Louis finally gives Zara, 28 - who has always dreamt of her own chart-topping music career - a firm footing in the music scene. 

Not only that, but some say Zara has seriously upgraded - from love with an E4 reality favourite to a multi-millionaire global superstar.

Finding romance with Louis follows Zara’s pattern of "dating up" - a clever move of falling for ever more successful, high-profile men. 

A source said: “Zara’s undoubtedly hot property in her own right and one of Love Island’s most successful breakout stars.

“She’s always done well to reinvent herself over the years and has been prepared to make the necessary changes to her career and personal life to take things to the next level. 

“But while her modelling and TV work have progressed, her true passion - music - has taken a bit of a back seat.

“A relationship with Louis would allow her to submerge herself into music and let her focus on her passion that she has neglected in recent years.”

The former civil servant regularly showcases her impressive voice on social media, which is no surprise to those who tuned into Celebrity X Factor in 2019 and watched Zara perform as part of No Love Lost.

But she hasn’t been able to replicate the musical success of bandmates Wes Nelson and Samira Mighty, who are now fully focused on careers in the music business.

Wes is a bona fide solo star with a number three hit and a collaboration with Craig David, while Samira has had her music played by Radio 1 and reached the top five of the UK club chart.

Since her X Factor stint, Zara has turned her hand to making serious documentaries such as Uncovering Rape Culture and Inside Ibiza, the latter of which took a look at the dark side of the party island.

Though Louis previously stated that he wasn’t interested in anything to do with Love Island, he seems to have changed his mind after his siblings endorsed Zara.

Fans recently noticed how heartthrob Louis began following Zara - who was already Instagram friends with his twin sisters Daisy and Phoebe, 20, as well as his older sister Lottie who is a makeup artist to the stars. 

There’s even been speculation Zara’s next TV project might involve the siblings and that this is how the pair met. 

But regardless of their professional connection, the Tomlinson girls paved the way for Zara and Louis to begin dating by giving her a glowing review.

An insider said: “Louis is so famous that meeting a girl authentically on a dating app or down the local pub is practically impossible.

“He’s very close to his sisters and knows they have his best interests at heart.

“The fact they have actively given Zara their blessing says a lot about her character.

“It’s been a very difficult past few months following the death of Liam [Payne].

“He realises life is too short and Louis is determined to make 2025 a positive year for himself and live life to the full - and Zara could play a major part in that.”

Despite being worlds apart, it appears opposites do attract as Zara and Louis’ backgrounds couldn’t be more different.

Working class Doncaster lad Louis’ journey to superstardom began in 2010 when he applied to the X Factor as a solo artist.

During the process, show mogul Simon Cowell pieced together rejected hopefuls Louis, Harry Styles, Liam Payne, Niall Horan and Zayn Malik to create One Direction.

Though they didn’t win the series, they were its breakout stars and went on to become the biggest boyband in the world.

Just five years later, the shock departure of Zayn marked the beginning of the end of the group.

At the same time, Zara was embarking on a promising career in the civil service as Operational Officer and Correspondence Drafter for the Department of Energy and Climate Change.

Two years on, as Louis released a top 10 solo track with Bebe Rexha, Zara became a Policy Advisor for the Department for Education, before going on to find her first taste of fame in the Love Island villa the following year.

During her time in Majorca, Zara had a sizzling romance with tall, dark and handsome Adam Collard, widely considered the ultimate Love Island hunk.

The relationship was short-lived in the real world though, with Adam insisting it had naturally run its course while Zara said she would always hold a special place in her heart for him.

It didn’t take long for either to move on and just months later Zara started a relationship with Made In Chelsea’s Sam Thompson, with the pair posing for loved-up selfies on social media.

However, the romance was dealt a huge blow early on after it emerged Zara had cheated on Sam with top music executive Brahim Fouradi - an associate of Simon Cowell’s - while competing on X Factor.

Formerly an International A&R Manager for Cowell’s label Syco, Zara’s ill-judged tryst with Fouradi hinted at her desire to fall for the bright lights and trappings of the music biz.

three-dee-ess Frequently Asked Questions

What 3DS should I buy?

refer to the chart below 👇 (made by @hekknisanidiot )

How do you mod a 3DS?

just go here -> https://3ds.hacks.guide/

Will I get in trouble for modding my 3DS?

not really. Nintendo no longer officially supports the 3DS. they certainly don't approve of 3DS modding but it's not like they are going to take legal action against you personally. I'm not a lawyer though.

Will Nintendo ban me online?

Nintendo already shut down the servers, so effectively we are all banned- even if your 3DS isn't hacked.

Is hacking your 3DS illegal?

No, as long as it's your personal property, it's not illegal. It's not illegal to paint a 3DS, or throw it into a toilet, or eat it, and hacking is just another way of modifying the 3DS.

How do you identify 3DS's?

I look at them. I'll make a better guide for this later but pretty much every model of DS has a unique identifier that differentiates it from the others in a big way. (Example being the DSi's huge camera)

How do you get games for the 3DS?

hshop (AKA 3HS)

What is netpass?

It's streetpass but it uses the internet instead! Install it from universal updater, or from here.

How'd you make your banner/What's a miitomo?

I used photopea and Miitomo with the Kaeru patcher. Miitomo is an abandoned nintendo social media app where you could create a custom mii. The main feature is the ability to take photos of your mii in silly outfits and poses.

You forgot/mistagged X post (Or you missed a TW)!

oops plz send me an ask and ill fix it asap :3c

What are your pronouns?

she/her!

Whats the tagging system?

#asks <- asks

#3ds post <- 3ds posts

#ds post <- DS specific posts

#dsi post <- DSi specific posts

#3DS inspo <- DS showoff tag

#cfw <- post contains reference to custom firmware (hacking)

#my thoughts <- ill tag any posts with my opinions on stuff here so yall can search through :3c

#<- assist needed • basically I need help with whatever question is being posed in the previous tag! go through this tag if you are knowledgeable about Pokemon games in particular for the most part.

#<specific 3DS model + color> <- if i've identified a 3DS it'll be tagged with the color and then the model. (EX 'red n3DSxl')

Can I submit a 3DS/DS image?

yes please do!! like actually if you own a 3DS even a bad photo is perfectly fine.

What does :3c mean?

it's just a cat face with a little paw. I use it a lot for funzies.

And that’s it’s, the organization that I’m gonna be using for my book of shadows <3. Also please note that this is work in progress and it takes time so sorry if it’s messy. Another three books that I will like to add are one for helpol, and maybe one Nordic and Egyptian paganism.

Another point to add is that the way that I investigate is by searching all the correspondences to a season(specially in astrology) for example is that in Sagittarius season I am gonna be using, all of the correspondences and making posts and researching that.

The last point to take into consideration is that my main Magick is glamour Magick and I like to associate it all and create outfits inspired by it, mainly makeup and clothing that I would wear to connect with that energy, so in each post I will create and when I can, will try to link it to glamour Magick

A Business Proposal

A little while ago, I posted an interest poll for a series I'm planning. Since many of you responded that you were at least curious, I come today with... limited information. Limited, because the novel version of this series is currently being read by a literary agent.

But I've always felt that this story was too big to be contained in book format. Under a traditional publisher, I would lose the rights to my own property, so if they didn't want to see more of it, that's that for myself and the characters and the readers who fall in love with the characters. Self-publishing is harder. It needs to be a collaborative effort between writer and readers if it's going to succeed. Thus, I turn to the only audience I have with my "business proposal."

(Note: If you've been around long enough, you might recognize some of these characters from posts that have since been deleted.)

~*~

Working Title: Trainwrecks Length of Series: 8 seasons Length of Seasons: 24 episodes, 12 main and 12 bonus, posted biweekly. (Each season will last three months.) Episode Length: 1000-2000 words Setting: Seattle, Washington and its surrounding towns, between the years 2004-2015 Genre: Contemporary, YA to New Adult

Trainwrecks follows a diverse group of six best friends from high school to their mid-twenties, with all the romance, heartache, college and career decisions, and confusion that entails. Our main cast:

A bubbly, fat Puerto Rican girl with a passion for art and matchmaking (Ages: 14-25)

Her adopted, Argentinian brother, who is adept at music and pretty much nothing else (Ages: 16-27)

Their childhood best friend, an Asian/British/American guy who hides years of trauma behind a flamboyant and overbearing personality (Ages: 19-30)

His ill-tempered younger sister, who has just moved back to the United States from London after their parents divorced fifteen years ago (Ages: 14-25)

An equally bad-tempered Hawaiian/French guy with a love of photography and a hatred of bullies (Ages: 14-25)

The coolest, most beautiful Chinese girl you'll ever meet, who is fighting a sex addiction after a history of abuse (Ages: 16-27)

Main episodes will be written in story format. Bonus episodes will be in epistolary format: MSN chats, text messages, letters, blog posts, and eventually Twitter posts. Y'know, cuz Twitter didn't exist in 2004.

The main series (8 seasons, 24 episodes each) will be completely free to read and delivered directly to your email inbox. There will be character artwork, a bio page to keep track of everyone, a tie-in Tumblr account for memes, Spotify playlists for each character, and helpful things like family trees and relationship charts as well. Each season will have its own key artwork---cover art, if you will.

In addition to the completely free story, there will be extra content for paid subscribers and Patreon patrons, including but not limited to:

Sneak previews/early updates

Side stories

Back stories

Character and universe development notes

Entire AUs with different relationships or different genres

Money raised will either go towards paying artists or towards my student loans. And if the series gets really popular, I intend to launch a Kickstarter for physical copies that will include all the artwork and maybe some bonus items as well.

That's my business proposal. If you like it or have questions, comment on this post, scream in my inbox, chat me---do whatever but do it vocally because I need to know you're out there. And then, feel free to follow my Substack for updates.

Median Home Sale Price By U.S. State in 2024

This was originally posted on our Voronoi app. Download the app for free on iOS or Android and discover incredible data-driven charts from a variety of trusted sources.

In 2024, buying a home in the U.S. looks vastly different depending on where you are.

Factors like local demand, land availability, economic conditions, and housing regulations all contribute to the median home prices in each state.

This map visualizes the median home sale price for a single-family home in each U.S. state in 2024. The data is updated as of September 2024 and comes from ATTOM.

Which States Have the Highest Home Sales Prices?

As of August 2024, the median home sales price for a single-family home in the United States is about $385,000.

Hawaii has the highest median house price in the U.S. at around $852,000, over double the national average, primarily due to its limited land availability, strict housing regulations, and high demand for housing in a desirable climate.

A University of Hawaii report found that regulatory costs, including lengthy permitting processes and strict zoning laws, account for more than half (58%) of the median price of a new condominium in Hawaii.

Hawaii’s finite land area and high demand driven by tourism and military presence further inflate property values.

Would love to know the dynamic between all the characters under the tag #the manor

(I think u have talked about it before but I don't remember XP)

Hii!!! I dont think i have!!! This is such a fun question (its also gna save me from relationship portions of character descs) also id have a very hard time making a character narrate so im just gna explain

So i split up the manor into 2 parts, the manor (xie, rin) and the forest (silas, akiko, and sybil (sybil isnt under the tag but yk)).

Xie is Rin's Maid, even in death. They live in the manor wich, by city-goers is speculated to be haunted. I guess it is!! Rin is super attached to Xie, she feels as if Xie, being her maid, and around her for so long, is her property. -> its kinda gay. Xie just sees rin as her master, befriending Akiko is honestly the only time shes disobeyed her.

When xie meets people Rin shuns them. But she feels she cant shake off Akiko. Xie met Akiko when he was a kitten, i dont think abt it too much but Akiko has a cat form. Shes taken care of him since then. Rin constantly kicks Akiko out to wander. they hate eachother. Akiko and Xie care a lot abt eachother.

When Akiko is kicked out he sometimes runs into Silas, they're chill, though usually when they meet akiko's a bit upset abt being kicked. Silas and Xie havent actually met, but Xie is fasinated in Silas, she appreciates how she keeps Akiko company. She cant identify but she probably likes Silas, so we've got a good old love triangle!!! (God i hate love triangles.) Silas sometimes see's Xie in a window of the manor but dosent think much about it.

Cassius is only part of the manor tag because of Silas, they're siblings, but Silas left behind her city life with cassius a long time ago. They're relationship is super tense, but Cass still cares about Silas a lot. He gets updates on how she's doing via Sybil.

Lil crappy chart

Also testing with rin being some sort of fox!!

BANKNIFTY, also followed the shadows of NIFTY 50, opening from 49592.5 and closing down 3.25% at price of 43989.5 INR. Overall, this has been a small bearish month for the Indian markets. The future may hold a few more bearish weeks but the Indian markets are definitely going to bounce back and touch new heights.

What’s In A Name

Changing your company name is always risky business, yet we have seen it done by two major players in the last couple of years. Google became Alphabet, and Facebook became Meta. Of course, some of us will probably continue using Google and Facebook the rest of our lives, if only because that’s what we were accustomed to using, but at least in the stock market, they are now Alphabet and Meta.

But what about when you ditch your established name for that of a business that just filed bankruptcy? That’s what Overstock dot com is doing. They paid $21.5 million for the intellectual property rights of Bed Bath & Beyond, which includes the name. As for Bed Bath & Beyond, they are liquidating anything and everything that might have residual value, because there are still creditors to be paid.

And in one of the biggest head-scratching moments I’ve had in a long time, they are taking on the name of that chain. No brick and mortar stores, just the IP. The updated website launches in Canada soon, followed by the US.

Basically, Overstock, which has endured its own woes and sales declines, thinks the BBB name is worth more than its own, that by taking on this new moniker they will be able to turn the ship around. They are betting there is more brand equity in the BBB name than in Overstock. Furthermore, they believe there is more equity in the name alone than all of BBB’s stores and inventory depth could leverage in the first place.

Let’s see. Buy the name of a failed retail concept, and then give it another whirl. It’s actually not a new idea, because Retail Ecommerce Ventures (REV) has been scooping up retail brands for several years now, and relaunching them as Dotcom enterprises. Their holdings include Tuesday Morning (which recently shuttered), Pier 1, Dress Barn, Stein Mart, Linens-N-Things, and more. So Overstock is not alone in having faith in brand names, even if we the consumers did not have faith in the company in its entirety.

Bed Bath & Beyond died a very painful death, drowning in debt, and weighted down in both inventory and real estate. Worse yet, as it became painfully apparent the company was swirling down the drain, its vendors started cutting them off. I recall going into the Amarillo BBB while it was still open, and noticed large gaps along the shelves. They could not get replacement inventory once they did sell something. It looked painful, and I bet it was tough having to report to work there every day. It was depressing.

I am still unsure why Overstock thinks its own name is dead. Is Wayfair giving them that much of a run for their money? I recall many of us giving Prince a hard time in 1993 when he changed his name to a symbol. An unpronounceable symbol, mind you. He became “The artist formerly known as Prince.” What was he thinking? He already had the perfect brand.

I am not ready to make predictions on Overstock…I mean the new BBB—just yet. I was never really a regular of either, and probably won’t be in the future, unless they start charting some new territory. Overstock will have to re-educate its customers about the name change (simple enough with a redirect in the HTML code if you type the old name), as well as training people to know that this isn’t their grandma’s Bed Bath & Beyond anymore. It’s Overstock, meaning otherwise unsellable merchandise on its first trip through the agora, now at bargain basement prices.

I’ll be watching, because this is an unusual move regarding names, but not unusual in the relaunch. As for Alphabet and Meta, they are both tearing it up in the stock market right now. Maybe it really isn’t all in the name.

Freya (busy helping Azul re-label potion samples), had gently volunteered Viridian to “keep an eye on Leilani for like, twenty minutes tops.”

It has now been fifty-six minutes.

Leilani: wearing Viridian’s hoodie like a dress, spinning in circles “Viriiiii, look! I’m you! ‘Ugh, the world is pain and no one gets me—’”

Viridian: slumped on the couch, twitching “I don’t sound like that.”

Leilani: deepening her voice, pretending to vomit “Hhrrrrghh—I can’t eat this goldfish cracker, it’s too emotionally complex!”

Viridian: snapping upright “IT’S NOT MY FAULT MY STOMACH IS LINED WITH INDUSTRIAL POISON, YOU GREMLIN.”

Freya: from the counter, unfazed “She’s got your dramatic flair down, though.”

Azul: without looking up “Honestly uncanny.”

Leilani: grinning innocently “Viridian? What happens if I press this button on your phone?”

Viridian: wheezing “WHAT DID YOU DO?! WHY IS MY SCREEN PINK?! WHO EVEN USES EMOJI STICKERS THAT VOMIT RAINBOWS?!”

Leilani: giggling and hiding under a beanbag “It’s cute! It’s called the Kawaii Mode.”

Viridian: gripping his skull “You’re not cute. You’re an elemental disaster in a dolphin hoodie.”

Leilani: sing-song voice “Nani says I'm her sunshine!”

Viridian: deadpan “Nani needs to get her eyes checked.”

Thirty more minutes later...Jade and Nalani return. Jade is holding a coral folder, Nalani looks worried.

Nalani: “Is everything okay—?”

Viridian: storming toward them like a vengeful sea ghost “I am NEVER babysitting Leilani again. Not for one minute. Not for one second. I would rather EAT one of Jade’s mystery mushrooms and gamble with fate than spend another hour with that demon child.”

Leilani: from behind a tank, chewing on goldfish crackers “You’re just mad I beat you at Monopoly.”

Viridian: spins around “YOU THREW ALL MY PROPERTY INTO THE SALT WATER FILTER.”

Freya: cackling “It was very symbolic.”

Azul: clearly holding in laughter “So... shall we update the sibling trust chart? Or just burn it entirely?”

Jade: to Nalani, amused “Perhaps we should add Viridian to the ‘no babysitting’ list… right below Floyd.”

Nalani: pinching her brow “Oh, he’s getting laminated and framed.”

Azul, chuckles:

Top Electrical Code Violations (and How to Avoid Them in Your Remodel)

Whether you're planning a kitchen remodel, room addition, or commercial renovation, electrical work is one of the most critical (and heavily regulated) aspects of the project. Failing to comply with the National Electrical Code (NEC) not only puts your property at risk but can also delay inspections, void insurance claims, and lead to costly corrections.

In this comprehensive guide, we’ll examine the most common electrical code violations seen in residential and commercial remodels, why they matter, and how to avoid them by working with qualified professionals.

Why Electrical Codes Exist

The National Electrical Code, updated every three years, sets the standard for safe electrical installation in the U.S. It helps:

Prevent fire and shock hazards

Ensure consistent wiring practices

Guide inspections and permits

Protect homeowners, business owners, and contractors

Whether you're rewiring a bathroom or building out a storefront, ignoring code can lead to failed inspections, legal liability, and physical danger.

1. Overcrowded Electrical Boxes

Violation: Installing too many wires in a junction box without accounting for space.

Why it matters: Overcrowded boxes create heat and increase the risk of shorts and arcing.

How to avoid it: Use the correct box size based on the number of wires and connectors. The NEC includes specific volume requirements per conductor.

2. Improper Grounding and Bonding

Violation: Failing to bond metal boxes, conduits, or subpanels properly.

Why it matters: Improper grounding can cause electric shock, surges, and equipment damage.

How to avoid it: Ensure all metal components are grounded using grounding screws or pigtails, and keep neutral and ground bars separate in subpanels.

3. Missing GFCI Protection

Violation: Omitting ground fault circuit interrupters (GFCIs) in areas with water exposure, like kitchens, bathrooms, garages, and outdoor outlets.

Why it matters: GFCIs prevent electrocution by shutting off power when a ground fault occurs.

How to avoid it: Install GFCI outlets or breakers in any code-required location. Always use tamper-resistant GFCIs in new residential installs.

4. No AFCI Protection Where Required

Violation: Not installing arc fault circuit interrupters (AFCIs) in living areas.

Why it matters: AFCIs detect dangerous electrical arcs and prevent fire hazards.

How to avoid it: Install AFCI breakers in the panel for bedrooms, family rooms, and other living spaces per local code requirements.

5. Inadequate Outlet Spacing

Violation: Outlets placed too far apart in rooms, violating the 6-foot rule.

Why it matters: Long distances encourage use of extension cords, increasing fire risk.

How to avoid it: Place receptacles every 6 feet along walls and within 2 feet of doorways. Kitchens have their own spacing rules (typically every 4 feet on countertops).

6. Unprotected Cables

Violation: Running NM (non-metallic) cable without proper protection in walls, ceilings, or through studs.

Why it matters: Unprotected wiring is vulnerable to nails, screws, and damage.

How to avoid it: Use conduit or protect exposed cable with nail plates. Maintain 1¼ inch clearance from the edge of framing.

7. Incorrect Wire Size for Circuit Load

Violation: Using wires that are too small for the amperage of the circuit.

Why it matters: Undersized wires overheat and pose a major fire hazard.

How to avoid it: Match wire gauge to circuit ampacity—e.g., 12-gauge for 20A, 14-gauge for 15A. Consult NEC charts or an electrician.

8. Open Splices and Junctions

Violation: Making wire connections outside a junction box or leaving box covers off.

Why it matters: Open splices are illegal and dangerous. They expose live wires to contact, sparks, and heat.

How to avoid it: Always make splices in covered junction boxes with the appropriate connectors.

9. Failure to Pull Permits or Get Inspections

Violation: Performing electrical work without obtaining the necessary permits.

Why it matters: Unpermitted work may not meet code, can delay property sales, and void insurance coverage.

How to avoid it: Always check local permitting requirements. Reputable contractors will pull permits and schedule inspections as part of the job.

10. Mixing Line and Low-Voltage Wiring

Violation: Running high-voltage (120V) and low-voltage (e.g., data, coax) wires in the same box or conduit.

Why it matters: This can cause interference or even damage to sensitive equipment.

How to avoid it: Use separate enclosures or dividers. Maintain adequate separation.

Tips to Avoid Electrical Code Mistakes

Hire a licensed electrician. Professionals stay up to date on NEC updates and local amendments.

Document all upgrades. Keep plans, receipts, and inspection reports for future sales or insurance.

Plan early. Don’t wait until drywall is up to plan wiring or outlet placement.

Get a second opinion. For major remodels, an electrical consultation is a wise investment.

Contractors like Integrity Electric, Inc. are experienced in identifying potential code issues early and guiding clients through compliant and efficient remodels.

Final Thoughts

Electrical code violations are more than technical errors—they’re potential fire and shock hazards that put lives and property at risk. During any remodel, it’s essential to build with safety and compliance in mind.

Understanding the most common code pitfalls gives you the power to plan better and hire smarter. Whether you’re upgrading a bathroom, building a workshop, or opening a new office, investing in safe, code-compliant electrical systems is a must.
