Hi folks,
I moved here from Europe 3 years ago and began the reno on my house (1933) I went ahead and stripped her to studs and replumbed,rewired, seismic retrofit new kitchens new bath etc...
HOWEVER I did not have any of it inspected as to be honest I didn't know I needed until it was way to late(drywall up and painted)
I had done most of this work before and never needed permits. So rather than pull down the drywall i kept going with the work.
AS regards the electrical I've replaced all from the box out.. pulled the old K&T, new receptacles,switches etc everything new, but not inspected. I finished the electrics 6 months ago but something is bothering me ..I brought some NM tru the walls up to the attic to a jb. At this point I ran NM the lenght of the attic which is used for storage only (5ft head clearance). I have the NM lying on the insulation on the floor and am not happy with this. I'm thinking of running the NM from one roof truss to the next stapled at each one.
Is this good? Do I need to use armoured? I tend to overkill on things sometimes such as using 20amp for the basement service
I'm well at myself for not having the inspections as I worry what'll happen if I go to sell?
