The NEC addresses this. You can't just staple up romex to the underside
of joists.
Yes, I had read this.
You can install running boards and then staple to those though.
Ah, now that's a Fine idea! : )
The NEC is a tough read if you don't already know what you're looking for
and where it is addressed,
Yes, I've noticed that!
however you can find adequate information in a number of DIY wiring books
available at places like Home Depot, Lowes, etc. Would be worth the money
for ya.
I bought "Stanley's" wiring book. I've learned a bit from it, and it is
nice to read, but it does not contain
the suggestion you made about "running boards", and I doubt the other books
do either.
I will feel better about that design too! I will just plan to nail up a 4"
path
of 1/2" stock near the base of the roof joists. It will look great! : )
Now, I can author my design with a
little more authority (reminds me of the letter Ralphie wrote for his
teacher in the movie The Christmas Story)!
