Vent: An inspector nailed me for using too many staples on NM cable
Last month a inspector in Phoenix told me I was over-stapling my Romex runs saying the code only needs support every 4.5 feet not every stud bay. I argued it but he pulled out his rule book and showed me the exact wording where it says 'within 12 inches of the box' and then every 4.5 feet after that. Now I am wondering how many other little habits I picked up from old timers are actually wrong or just extra work.
