Turned in my plans to the town to replace my Al wire with copper.

The inspector called me today and said I may need to completely remove
the Al wire. *He was going to check on it so it is not that he is
trying to gove me a hard time.

Anyone know if the NEC addresses abandoned wires behind finished
drywall?

My plan was to pull all that I could out and where staples prevented
it cut the wires so they could not be reached.

Good news! *The inspector just called me back and said when I'm
removing the old Al wire just cut it off where accessible.

As long as none of the ends are exposed where it could be used again
I'm good to go.

Why is it that I'm picturing the *next* homeowner cursing you as he
tries to extend the wires to a switch or receptacle?

"D*mn Him! Why did he cut these friggin' wires so far back? He could
have left me just a little more to work with!"
