HotLine, there were no offsets. And, I do have to allow for the possibility that the anchores were removed in order to repair the drywall.
I have no quarrel with the inspector- though it is very likely none of the jobs pictured here were ever permitted, or inspected.
Nor do I expect the inspector to be able to see into the future. THAT is the electricians' job. He's the guy who talks to the customer, evaluates the application, and chooses the wiring method.
Code is not about design; an electricians' job is, though. That's why I posted this under "discussion," rather then "violations."
It's just not enought to "meet code." Not- and still call yourself a professional.
