Funny how so many guys don't care how it looks in a parking garage, then again only Plumbers and Electricians would notice.

Like go to a restaurant and after you leave ask everyone that was with you if the place had a fire alarm or a sprinkler system?
Any Plumbers or Electricians that were there will have noticed. LOL

It drives my wife crazy when the first thing I notice in a place is the electrical work on the ceiling.

Why would the inside of a parking deck need to be raintight? Most of the parking deck can be damp location and portations of it will be wet locations.

It sure looks like it. AFC makes a product called "parking deck/lot cable."

Thats why I never take my wife or plumbers out!
Wait,I don't have a wife (used to,long story), But the plumbers don't seem to mind.So long as I'm buying.

There was a parking garage in NYC that I parked in, that had romex running threw the place, and the pannel had no cover. I have to take pictures. Its amazing how people can sleep at night when they do that.
