The funny thing (not so funny) is that I catch stuff like this all the time on new construction during final. The initial rough was good, they made some changes afterwards and this is the result.

Due to depth perception of the photo and the steep roof, there is around 48" + from the wire to the bottom of the rafters

Okay that changes things but all these threads you have started not any of them had me freaking out worrying. I have seen 100 times worse all over the place.
 
Dennis, you wouldn't sink them, if the roof had a higher pitch? Or run on a stud ?

The 48" is good for a wall to enclose something just depends on the roof pitch?

You're right, I constantly see things 100 times worse. Then again its usually HO existing work I'm looking at. These pictures may be showing work done by licensed electricians who are thinking that they're going to pass an electrical inspection.

Doubt that most of them are licensed. These are presumably in PA, where there is no statewide licensing.
 
Guys this type of workmanship goes on everywhere by both the owners of the company as well as the employees. We have all done a little something here and there but some people just don't care.

We can't blame it all on DIY'ers. I bet most is done by supposedly qualified people.

Jude, I was just saying it was legal.

I square my work so "NO" I wouldn't run across the studs unless it was in the very corner and then I usually staple to the rafter to stay out of the insulators way, esp. when 2x4 trusses are used.
 
All of today's posts are jobs performed by "professional" electricians. As ty has stated, PA does not have a statewide license. Only a few larger Cities have a true licensing program and the work is better in those areas.

Most guys stay away from the larger cities and are able to earn a living by working in smaller boroughs and townships. Many never pull permits and learn by failing inspections. Only one of the cities that has a true licensing program requires CEUs. The ECs in this city are significantly better than the other group as a general statement.

I see these guys at all of the IAEI meeting and training seminars so they are keeping up with the code right along side the inspectors. Unfortunately, these are the minority and the majority of ECs have some issues.
