the general population have of the legislation, the door is still wide
open for the cowboys.  If anything, it opened wider because the
responsible electricians doing all the Part P installation, testing and

Plus, of course, certain jobs are exempt.  Although that's not
applicable in the case of Stephen's barn job, of course.
