Okay, this is probably easily answered but since I haven`t bought NEC2011 yet, I wondered if someone might help with these two questions...
1. My understanding is that all wiring must be fastened to let`s say a stud or other rigid part of the structure in dwellings. (I hope I said this right.) Anyway, I will rewire my home in the next year or so and was wondering if I run new wire if I will have to tear out my sheetrock so that I can fasten this wire to the studs?
2. I would like some opinions about whether you pros see the NEC changing a lot between 2011 and 2014. I was going to start accumulating material so I wouldn`t have to take a big hit when I buy my supplies just before doing this rewire but it appears that the code changes so radically from one edition to the next that what I buy this year may not be acceptable in say 2014 if my state adopts the code.
I really want to do this right and I am going to do this myself so any thoughts would be appreciated.
