Looks like wiring. What exactly are you questioning?

I don't see it either. What's the problem?

They only thing I could see is that the romex casing or jacketing is left more than 1/2". Other than that, beats me, Dave.

Off course not, but Paul A. would probably mention it like he has before.
Hell, the guy is asking what is wrong, I don't see anything wrong.
I believe it is a code item, but not sure.

The Code only specifies a 1/4" minimum on the jacket or sheath. It does not specify a maximum.

Absolutely not.

Now if it were excessive lengths, then I would write it up.

Thanks, Jim. Many think, as I used to, that longer sheathing than 1/4" or 1/2" is a violation.

What are you writing up about excessive lengths?

I don't use a tape measure, but with the image posted, it is not considered an excessive length in my book.
