Ok so first time poster here. First let me say I realize there are some things I should not do myself. However the majority of what I want and need to do I can handle. I just want help doing it as safely as possible and make sure it's to code. Next let me state that I checked with my city and they go by 2008 NEC code.
This is all in a house I just bought. So my questions are:
1) What are the issues with wiring in my basement being ran together in the corner underneath the joists like this?
2) What's the best way to go about cleaning it up?
3) From other posts I think I can rerun wires like this below directly through the joist across the air flow. It's just a return.
4) this is the one that I'm fuzzy on. This is a regular duct and a few are touching it and some are not. Is this against code and if so, how should I rerun it?
5) Finally this is similar to the first one but runs along the main brave through the middle of the basement ceiling.
Thanks and any help is appreciated.
