I am going to start another hot topic... Seeing the "House next door" post, I would like to say one should remove the jacket fron NM cables prior to insertion into the box. This permits visual inspection of the insulation for damage. I know the "new breed" method is to stuff the whole cable in and stick a utility knife up into the box and score the jacket then pull it off. I have debated this with several young residential guys. I have also seen slits in the insulation perfectly in line with the jacket line. The last time, I experienced a short while adjusting a receptacle. Guess what the cause was? I now insist that anyone who works with me prep the cable beforehand. I will not live with the question of whether or not my wires are sizzling behind someones bedroom wall. Bring it on!!
