Those cables coming off the joist should have been folded the other way. They would have stayed closer to the surfaces. Nice clipping job though ( are they staples? ). Would trunking have been easier?

Thanks for the kind words Harold

I can't imagine being the guy spending so much time and mental effort on a job like this and then when the last of the paperwork is signed, throwing the tool bag in the back of the truck, and just driving away thinking "now what the heck do I do?"
and never being able to go back and visit.

If it was me, the next morning I would be staring at the road over my coffee cup, and find myself in the wrong driveway grin
As an inspector, do you ever wish you had a "blue ribbon" tag, just like there is a red one for a job that is less than the minimum?

Here's some more pics from Harold:

This picture shows where all of the CATV wires will end and get hooked up to amplifiers. They are not done with that one yet:

Well here are 2 pictures that show how neat all of the IT wiring was done:

This picture shows how there ia a whole rack system where everything gets integrated. The IT wiring, Internet, house wiring etc:

I still have a few more to go if anyone is still interested.

That is the most beautiful home wiring job that I have ever seen! It looks like it was done by some sort of CAD/CAM robot, precisely from a drawing.

Trainwire,

If I could give out a "Blue Ribbon "award, I think that this house would get it. I have been doing electrical work since 1975 and I haven't seen a better, neater job than this one. I must have taken a dozen or more pictures and I can't help talking about this job. Bob Romano and John have done a most wonderful job here.

Kiwi,
Yes, those are staples and there is a lot of them. As for "Trunking" I am not quite sure what you mean by that?

Trunking or cable duct where the cables could have been laid without the need for elaborate clipping. Horizonal ducts would have worked here with clipped vertical droppers to the panels.

Trunking of the metal kind is similar to what is known in the US as 'cable gutter' I believe?
Such as this . The plastic kind of trunking such as these I don't believe has a US equivalent. It's frequently used in the UK (and apparently too in NZ smile

Chipmonk,
The second link looks allot like Panduit. I have used it quite a bit in industrial cabinets. The domed stuff resembles the plastic wire-mold.

Yours looks a little slicker, though. More finished look to them.
