Right...all those unsafe building that are wired with romex...wait...hold on, I hear fire truck sirens. They must be responding to another fire that was started by romex. ;)

that's what I call a win-win situation. I wire with romex and get paid, then when It catches on fire I get on the fire engine and go put it out and get paid. Works from every angle:cool:

the pesky drop ceiling rule...

That pesky rule is pretty new, not something that is outdated (like the 3 story rule) and needs to be gotten rid of. Must be a reason for it, no?

Can you guess the wiring method used in these buildings?

Mc cable is my guess.

When a person on this site is dealing with others, the first rule to try and remember is how different installations can be all over the country.


Back to New York
We are in a new code cycle, and the 3 story restriction for NM is no longer with us.
A four story house built with the proper building type will be permitted with the use of NM cable.
as a side note, there are many, many buildings in NY already that are multiple story buildings that have been built with NM cable. HUD buildings are a good example. If you like, I can post pictures of about ten buildings over ten stories that have been built more than 20 years ago ...some even are aluminum.

This is just so wrong. Why not just use extension cords and zip cord??

Very simple, it's because those are not allowed.

Recently the "Pipefitters Union" tried to make even copper tubing illegal - everything would have had to be threaded bosses as PVC/ABS is already a big no-no for plumbers here....

While I do not fear threaded conduit (would even look forward to the challenge) - I don't think I want to have NM in every application - limiting combustables does have its place JMSO.

Wow...that is just plain bold to try that. Plumbers would riot in the streets if they tried that here.
 
You are all entitled to your opinions of what is quality work. Aparently my standards are higher than others. There is an old saying You get what you pay for. You want an F350 diesel or a KIA that is up to you.
