I had to move the outlet for my welder today. Since it's been a topic of recent discussion, I decided to document the event.

I went to Home Depot and purchased the correct length of 8-3 stranded cable and then ran it through the attic after drilling holes to drop it down to the main panel and the wall where the outlet would go:

Dude, You are like the poster child for why there are building codes. Now you have live wires going through the inspection / safety cover. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

Show this picture to your insurance comapny:

Are you just looking for something to bitch about?

If you can explain how there is a single difference, as far as safety is concerned, between this and punching a pop-out of the top of the box and running the cable up the wall cavity where someone can put a screw through the drywall and into the cable, I'll go rewire the whole fucking thing.

I said before, clearly, that I will be removing this cable when I move. I am completely unconcerned with an inspection.

This is absolutely, 100% as safe as running the cable through the top of the main box and up the wall cavity.

I swear to god, some of you guys could bitch about a day off work.
