<P>Well, I never liked electrical outlets anyway - all those little faces with O's for mouths, always open. Who needs electricity anyway?<BR><BR></P></DIV>

<DIV></DIV>>Sure it's legal. 
<DIV></DIV>> 
<DIV></DIV>>But the description was of exposed conduit on top of drywall. 
<DIV></DIV>>UUUGGGLLLYYY. 
<DIV></DIV>> 
<DIV></DIV>>The straw bale building I helped with a bit had armored cable buried 
<DIV></DIV>>in the wall. The architect and electrician had thought that Romex 
<DIV></DIV>>(all-in-one bundle with its own plastic jacket) would have been 
<DIV></DIV>>fine, but the inspector wanted waterproof inside the concrete over 
<DIV></DIV>>the straw bale. Armored cable--flexible, waterproof, wires already 
<DIV></DIV>>run--barely possible that individual wires could be replaced in some 
<DIV></DIV>>future repair--turned out to be great for people who had never 
<DIV></DIV>>thought about electric work to use.
