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. LEED Green Associates InachiAwardsPortal: Inachi US Member of the Year Award 2009 |

I wanted to see if any of you guys would write the long insulation and paper on the wires.
Thanks! I did not write it either. Thanks! again Mid America Property Inspections, Inc. Shawnee, KS 66217 www.mapii.com NACHI # 05110992 KHIRB # 0110-0008 KS-Radon Cert.# KS-MS-0035 KS-Termite Cert. # 18933 M0-Termite Cert. # N 5033 |

Please Note:

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

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.

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