I'm visiting Norway, and see many outlets way up high. Some are mid wall , some are down to the bottom..but many up high. Saw someike this since the airport. Any idea why they do this?

It is pretty damn easy to add an outlet above an existing outlet, as long as you can user a drywall saw without injuring yourself. Very basic electrical, drywall, and paint.

The only way you would get yourself in trouble is if you are overloading the circuit, but the fuse for that circuit should keep you from being too stupid.

Careful, you might get banned from Norway talking about such things.

What are they gonna do? Deny me rotting fish, universal healthcare, quality sauna, and a quality of life so good that I can't imagine it? Bitch, I am an American, we thrive in spite of quality of life and fermented food products that we haven't appropriated because it doesn't agree with our collective food heritage items by UK, German, Italian, and Mexican citizens that invested early in our cultural appropriative tapestry.

They would have savagely killed a lot more Russians if we hadn't had our economic interests compromised by German economic interest twice. They owe us for not baring an inconsequential amount of Russian lives weighting on them because Nordic countries are unitonically as beautifully savage as their lands.

I'll just say it, the Nords scare Americans because they are so happy and great but could kill us 5:1 because they have a savagery that is boiling beneath a surface of civility that masquerades as genuine contentment with a peaceful life. We have guns 10:1 vs civilians, but the highest per capital civilian gun ownership means little when you see a bloodeagle down the road. We are grateful that we aren't the most convenient outlet for their hidden rage fostered by hundreds of years of content.

Yeah I'm just lazy and it would be a pain. I've actually already added a whole new circuit in the garage for a welder. It's just easier if everything is already there.
