Pierre C Belarge said:Actually the issue is one of storage. When one gets into some of the attics, there is so much storage that the possibility of damaging the cables/conductors becomes significant.
Pierre I didn't say it was legal. I was saying I cannot see the safety issue with it.
It also appears to me that this section of the attic is not the same as the section where it is accessible from permanent stairs. It looks as though you must crawl thru a kneewall to get there. If I am correct then I would not see that area as needing the protection. I know what you are going to say but if I were inspecting I would see that section as a separate attic space. How can you really store things against that wall?
Sure people will do almost anything but that would not be my stance on this issue. You asked opinions -- I gave one.
