One more wiring ?

Jul 14, 2014 26 Replies

I did all the wiring myself years ago and was in a hurry when I did it.

I recently paid a qualified electrician to upgrade my service from 100 to 200 amps and it's all of course compliant to today's code.

Now that I'm retired I have sufficient time to go back over all the stuff I put in and do it right. The basement is all done now and though the attic *might* have complied to the code at the time, I might as well do it right.

To bring the stuff I did up to "current code" is going to cost me about $40 in parts, it's just my own time. As I mentioned somewhere else, I also want to be sure there is no chance a roofer will ever hit anything in the event I get a new roof.

While not official NEC, this is what I've seen in the past and my interpretation of the words in the Code.

A very weird pic, no? If you look at the far end, those strips look like furring strips or similar. If you look at the near ends, they morph into somthing flat and thin vertically.

Nope, not a great architectural drawing granted, but they're just cut at a diagonal at near end, at least on the rendition here...the vertical thickness still shows at the front edge, just the rear along the slice is hidden...

Not what I see here. The far end laying on the joist does look like strips one could use and they look wider than they are tall. At the near end, they are tall, thin, little thickess, more like strips of sheet metal standing vertically.

That would seem to be a fignewton of your renderer, then...

Or you got the M. C. Escher version, mayhaps...
