I realize that, but at the same time when a previous inspector made a point of showing us that we did a good job, we can only assume it was correct. After all he is an inspector.
He even called in another contractor to show him what we did to keep the wiring off the grid. What other assumption should we have made?
We only used tie wraps on that job and attached them to the supports in the ceiling. We left the tie wraps in a looped setting to allow the wire to be raised and still supported, never touching the grid.
I just got a call as I'm writing this that the main problem is that some of the wiring is over the sprinkler system, or might be touching the pipes. Big no-no! I just called my installer and told him why. He of course played dumb. He is on his way to the job right now to get the wiring off the pipes! The GC said the whole thing is incorrect. Not the case apparently!
I will be on site tomorrow to see exactly what failed. Playing phone tag seems to have changed the story a little, huh!
