The plus points to this method of wiring:
1. Easy routing of wiring. Just decide on a position for the receptacle, smash a hole thro' the wall and run the wire to the next location. 2. Air/rain cooled conductors. 3. If it catches fire, the FD can see where it's alight. 4. Takes the casual observers attention away from that ghastly Mayan-style masonry effect wall board crap, thus making $50000 worth of improvement. 5. No unsightly wiring nailed to the sheetrock inside and no fishing. 6. Put some new siding on, and presto! it's inside the wall, just like a regular timberframe house!....er..um....wait a minute, can you red card it now?

>How did he handle wiring the outlets on the inside walls? Outlets on the inside walls? Who needs those? Just run extension cords and plug outlet strips into them! Afterall, if it works, that's all that matters right? -Z

"What's the violation?" is actually a pretty good question. I'd start by asking: is the space behind the siding considered "wet" or "damp?"
I'm also willing to guess that this guy way on the right track....that his house was wired with only half a dozen circuits (nowhere near enough for today's home). I'd guess he's abandoned all the old wire- which may not even had a ground- and is connecting these new "circuits" through the backs of the first box in each 'run."

What did he do for the 240V circuits?
Is there anyone on board who knows how to fly a plane?

Maybe I'm an incurable optimist, but what if they just haven't put up the furring strips yet?
(Gee, I wonder if there's a forum for carpenters where they put up pictures of bad siding jobs.)
