It would not have been funny if you didn't grossly exaggerate that font. :grin:

The point is, if you keep your house clean, you won't have any rats eating up the wires.

Jim has yet to provide enough evidence of his assertions. Just a lot of pot calling the kettle black.

What do want ? Pictures of the wire ? I have sign it attic that says no rodents. Seriously Florida has bug problems and seen plenty of wire destroyed. Up north might not be so bad.
I will not kill the squarells in my oak tree ,they are fun to watch.

Umm............ I will not kill squarells either......

Maybe we need to start a save the squarells campaign? I am on your side Jim.

I think electrocuting them is a hideous option.

.............. What are they? I'm from the West.

Are they like big roaches or what?

Could anyone tell me what is the proper distance for a staple from your nail up box and give me the NEC code

Article 334.30.......12". Don't ask these guys what time it is.........they'll tell you how to build a clock. Welcome to the Forum!

In AZ, (a long time ago) where I saw it happen, it was in outbuildings. And there was no food for them to eat, they brought their own !

I agree w/ Jim's opinion re romex.

 

[readydave8]

so you're saying put the staple within 12" of the box to keep the rats from chewing on the romex?

 

[mivey]

what i meant was that no one came out and said the number of inches...and the thread continues. and the guy has never even replied, at all.

geeze...it was meant to be funny. :-?

Who said I wasn't laughing? :grin:

A couple of big greys make a nice stew

i thought the font size was right on with just how long this thread has gone on about just plain goofy talk, which i find rather amusing.

if i offended anyone, forgive me.

Just a little tongue-in-cheek humor. I don't imagine anyone was offended.

Your point being that if you want to just land the wires into the box without a connector or clamps you have to staple the wire within 8" instead of 12", right?
