| I was asked a question today from a person buying a 1980's house about their home inspector noting the lack of bonding of their structural steel. They asked whether this should be added. I believe in the eyes of the code there is no difference to this than any other metallic structure. Should this be retrofit to all major separate metal structures? |

| and add to Brick's question, is the steel exposed? If the answer is no, there's no NEC code requirement to bond it. Frankly I'd do so anyhow if it were up to me, but it may not be a defect. |
