I plan to insulate my basement walls. There are several electrical cables (typical BX cables) that are tucked between the floor joists and the foundation wall, against the sill plate.
- Do I put my fire blocking over the electrical?
- I want to make sure I have continuous insulation layer, so, can I encase the electrical in spray foam (and XPS board over the rest)?
Is this approach allowable by code requirements?
