[AT] Shop ceiling

[Larry Goss]

But those guys are the poster children for an "old-boy network".  It does depend on who does the work.  When I built my shop, I took the exam they told me I had to pass before they would even make the trip out to the site to look at the wiring.  I commented afterward that the exam "looked an awful lot" like the Journeyman's exam.  That led to an informal discussion of both his (the examiner) and my backgrounds.  Both of us had spent many years as piano technicians, and I knew his work from experience in working on pianos he had signed off on.  Long story short -- The wiring had no problems after that conversation.

Larry,  I may be wrong but I think in my area the inspector has to see it 
before it is covered up PERIOD and without regard to who does the work or 
what qualifications they have.  He needs to see that
no bare wires go through sharp places that might cut or chaff them, that no 
junction boxes are buried somewhere that they can't be accessed and that 
there are no improper wire splices, etc.  Your advice to Don is sound. 
The fixtures, receptacles, etc. don't have to be installed but the rough 
wiring has to be complete.

I don't know what regulations you are having to follow in your area, Don, 
but where I live, if it is done by the owner or a non-journeyman 
electrician, all the wiring must be completed BEFORE it is covered up by 
wall board, etc.   Otherwise, it doesn't get inspected, and your addition 
does not get connected.

I have all the wiring and outlet boxes in place so they need cutting around.
