Hello,
I am an electrician in PA, and I just failed an inspection because I drilled my holes in the floor joists (residential home) less than 2" apart, from edge to edge. Is this in the NEC? What article? This is a big problem because it is the holes for all my homeruns, and the run, almost, the whole length of the house. So not only will I have to take the wires out of the panel and remove them from the floor joists, he also wants the joists replaced. The is a big problem. This inspector is known for being an unreasonable guy and I couldent talk him out of his decision either. Please let me know if there is any way that I can fight him on this.
