I'm finishing my basement and running 12/2 romex for the outlets (allowed by my city, job will be inspected).
There will be a large, unfinished storage area. Am I allowed to run the romex in this framed wall, since the backside will be exposed, or does that part of the wall need to be in conduit?
To be clear, there will be a finished space with drywall. That framed wall will be open on the backside to the unfinished storage area. Can I run the romex through the framing, or does it need to be in conduit since it is exposed on the back?
I called the city, but the building guy is out this week and no one else there knew and I'd like to keep working.
