to electricman scott:

inspectors here are funny about some things. they want you to do things there way. for instance doorbell transformers they want them up in the attic space. the way this guy has romex bundled together would also get red flagged something about heat building up.
also the staples he used would not pass something about the wire vibrateing and eventually shorting out to the metal staple they want the white plastic romex staples. i can somewhat see there point on some things but some things seem a bit to much.
