I hesitate to get into this, but I gotta say two things. First, I'm a retired building inspector, and I've inspected buildings done by both Amish and Mennonites. They all built very carefully and diligently, and paid attention to all the Code items that came up. Made a few mistakes, but they quickly corrected anything I asked them to. I was very impressed by all of them, project after project, commercial buildings, roofing, additions, etc.. The thing is, they may not have been current on the latest Code requirements, but I know they wanted to be. I believe they learned things for the better, by building in town where there were Codes. Second, I wish in my house I had the latest Arc Fault Cicruit Interupter breakers for the bedrooms, I wish I had the latest smoke alarm configuration both inside and outside the bedrooms for my family's safety, I wish I had a new 4-wire dryer circuit so the neutral current was NOT carried down the ground wire, I sure am glad the metal flashing in my roof valleys is correct...... Short story, these Codes are just small things that make a big difference.
