Probably won't be. If it is,won't pass.

As Far as loose ends down to the boxes. I don't staple until I'm cutting in. Pull across and down staple all the high stuff and do the drops at cut in.
Regarding pulling diagonal, perfectly legal In MA.(2008) as long as you have a 3/4"space from finish.

334.30
..."Where the cable is run diagonally behind strapping of a nominal 19mm (3/4-in) thickness it shall be considerd supported, secured,and in compliance with 334.17 where it is not pulled taught.".... -MEC-2008-

I don't agree, makes for a hack install.


Extra wire at boxes, I take that into account. makes it easier and faster at cut in. Why they shoved the cables in the box before cut in... no clue.

As far as the home runs go, thats a building inspectors issue. Very bad decision to boot.
Bundleing, They got some rework to do. Again the building inspectors issue.

Either way, someone is not going to be very happy.
