Re: Hidden Wires???

There are no rules concerning wire visibility or labels. There are only rules about wire size and color (and no non-copper wire and, of course, where wires are allowed to connect).

However...

It's in your best interest to clearly label and route your wiring and apply tie-downs wherever possible. Clean wiring will definitely make the inspector's job easier. He/she will need to follow all of your wiring to ensure that you're complying with the rules. Hidden wires obviously make that a lot more difficult. Plus, WHEN things break, you'll be much happier that your wiring is easier to access.
