They could have at least taped the wires into a nice bundle before twisting the extra ceiling tie wire around them.:laughing:
Is romex to be supported every 20-30 feet? I forget. :jester:
NM cable's not permitted above commercial drop ceilings anymore. Are they going to make you change all that to MC? If the dining area seats 100 or more, you can't even have NM cable anywhere in the building. Bummer for them, good for you. :001_huh:

Yeah they are making the insurance company pay for all the NM to be removed and MC installed. We also placed a bid for the new drop ceiling. I love being able to handle both that way we never have to worry about the ceiling guys getting ahead of us.:laughing:Is romex to be supported every 20-30 feet? I forget. :jester:

I'm not sure how good for us this place will be. Ever been in a Chinese restaurant after a grease fire? I wont eat that stuff for a month. The grease I was sliding around on is what was washed off durning the sprinkler system going off. Yuck.
I don't worry about it either. Sometimes, the ceiling gets 'accidentally on purpose' damaged.I love being able to handle both that way we never have to worry about the ceiling guys getting ahead of us.:laughing:
Been there done that and I hate cleaning stuff out of my UG conduit.:laughing:I don't worry about it either. Sometimes, the ceiling gets 'accidentally on purpose' damaged.
But seriously I have seen 2 guys stuck to the ceiling grid while trying to diagnosis 277 lighting. The first one I managed to drop the lift by using the ground controls which released him from the grid. The second had a heart attack and died.
How far did those feeders in picture #1 go?
They just went through the wall and into the sub panel. About 2' total.
I know how----- DIYSeems he had a few other complaints also. I am not sure how people can get away with some of this stuff.
The wall clock in the second picture pretty well makes a good commentary on the quality of the work.
I was thinking the same thing when I saw it. DIY Mascot.:laughing:The wall clock in the second picture pretty well makes a good commentary on the quality of the work.
