Question:

In pix 2 through 9, how does one get past ducts and return air spaces and still comply with 334.15(C)?

Running boards as per 334.15(A)?

In pic #4, the diagonal cut, can one place running boards at angles to the framing members (saving rerouting the cable)?

I tend to think that a drop ceiling is/was possibly planned... that would help some of this make a little more sense, like the extra cable on the lights (no Jct box with 6' BX whip?)...

Would a drop ceiling make the NM Cable OK as is? (Becomes a "finished" ceiling...)

Thanks in advance,

-Virgil
