Help. Our contractor’s lic. electrician is telling us that since we are doing a full upgrade of our electric in our bldg that we must install an electrical outlet on the facade of our bldg. This seems nuts for so many reasons we are wondering if it’s true. Our architect says she’s never heard of it. But she says it still could be true. We don’t want to do this because it will be ugly on a nice, historic brick bldg, it is a danger to have live electric outdoors in an unsupervised space, anybody could come by and tap in. Although we would gladly do it if we could also get a guaranteed parking spot and then we could buy an electric car and charge up and make Al Gore happy. But I digress. I just don’t want this outlet. Anybody know a way around it? Thanks.
