Most of the ECs in my town know that it's time to clean up of the sins of the past during renovations.

The GCs that raise objections get the standard speach that IF they want a approval at above ceiling inspection, they will clean it up.

John,

I too have that standard speech about cleaning up the old wires above the drop ceiling. I realize that they can't remove every old piece of wire that they see, but they have to get rid of majority of the old wires.
