[ale] Low voltage work in GA

[Jim Kinney]

can't pull  wires horizontally through metal studs with sheet rock
installed :-)  well.... not and have them conduct any signals when
ends are on :-)

I don't have ready access to a current NEC manual so I'm working for
feeble memory (foam).

There ARE places where metal conduit is R E Q U I R E D. going through
a fire-rated wall is one of them.

Every time you stop a school, you will have to build a jail. What you
gain at one end you lose at the other. It's like feeding a dog on his
own tail. It won't fatten the dog.
