Question

Is this how its done?


Hello. I am in the process of remodeling a workshop into an apartment and I was looking for some information. As I have gutted it, I have found several things that I was concerned about and figured I would post pics on here to see if I was right or wrong. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Looks like the conduit was existing and someone decided to frame a wall out and just notched around the existing. So it most definitely isn't typical.. So is this in a basement or the structure has block walls above grade?

You cannot have any buried electrical boxes...all have to remain accessible.

@Copperclad: This is how the work was done. It has concrete block walls, above grade. Electrical was run first (had temp service so he could do it all), then framed and insulated around the electrical, then drywalled. This is how he did it. Could have done the framing first but chose not to.

@kbuzz: Thanks for the info. I appreciate it.
