Recently I've had to build a new home for my tractor, JD 2305. What I've built is a 24x40 combination 2 car garage/tractor shop, 24x24/16x24,(pictures to follow at a later date). I've also wired in a auxillary electrical box & circuits, which has passed the rough inspection. The inspector said he would need to also look at the main panel when he comes back for the final inspection.
My house was built in '68 and the wiring is not real pretty; what I'm worried about is if the inspector comes back for the garage final and says my 200 amp service is not up to code because the wires aren't coming into the box as straight lines, right angles, etc.; however, it did pass inspection in '68. Does anybody know if there's such a thing as a "grandfather's clause" in the electrical code? Something to the effect that since the box passed inspection in '68 it's still OK; or are we going to have to spend a whole lot of money on rewiring just to make it look good?
