My friend had an electrician come to his house to repair a light set on a post in his front yard.
The light is set up on a brick post. The electrician ran white romex from where it comes out of the front of his house (behind some bushes) along the corner of the garden (buried under the dirt) and up the side of this brick post into the bottom of the lamp.
He lives in Nassau County, Long Island, NY. Is anyone familiar with electrical code there? Besides it looking crappy to have this white wire running along an otherwise nice-looking garden, it seems to be a potential hazard when the gardener comes and cuts this wire with his tools, lawnmower, etc.
Assuming this is not legal, how should it have been done?
