Re: Recepticle placement
Not to long ago i did a home for the Steinbrenner family(The Yankees) and the architect speced all receptacles to be in the baseboards.So I called the Ahj and asked him to come look and see what we had in mind ,we roughed the circuits with no receptacle boxes in place but I made sure that there was enough wire there when trimmed out.I left these large loops in the walls and stubbed the wire where I wanted the receptacle to be cut in the base.he was fine with the rough and we trimmed out and the trim carpenters made all the cuts.I was worried about aff heights and as it turned out it all worked out great. But in response to your question as long as you don`t go above the max. height for receptacles to be considered wall spacing receptacles it is fine to place them in the baseboards

Re: Recepticle placement
I install a lot of receptacle outlets in the baseboard. I fur the plate to get the required center line and then set the box and let the carpenters cut the boxes out when they install the baseboard. I think it gives a clean look.
