Exposed romex in garage below 7 feet. (help)

[Russel Ray]

If you were down here in San Diego County, it would be more than just a note. I'm familiar with at least one lawsuit here that resulted from the home inspector failing to point out the safety hazards with exposed wiring below seven feet in a garage.

Hi Russ,

I certainly don't doubt it, just for an example, a child takes a Pocket Knife and starts carving on the pretty conductors, well, you know the gig.

lol......I see some of my posts over on EC & M made it here....lol.......Ironically in the 2011 NEC it will be a moot issue as they will allow the NM Cable to be exposed. But until 2011...my response holds true...

Dale,

That is called natural selection. But your very post will probably generate a new requirement for a box of romex. "Do not carve on the conductors with a pocket knife." Sort of like the, "Do not put hands under a running lawnmower". Nature's way of thinning the heard.
