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.
