You mean for taping the connectors, or taking the time on Control Booth to discuss taping connectors?

Brooklyn is in NYC, correct? SteveB says he tapes all connectors, even TwistLocs, on deck level.

You wouldn't believe how much I got yelled at by the Master Electrician of a hotel's convention center on one of my first calls here in Las Vegas when I did that.
