I have read over this a few times and one thing that pops out is I didn't think you could run nm-b through EMT and I didn't think I could just run it over without any protection. I don't really know how the who conduit thing works anyway. It kinda made my wife look at me funny, but I am...

I live in the country. We built our house 4 years ago and no permits were required, so I paid $0 for that. Only thing the county cared about is our septic system. We did pay for 3rd party inspections along the way as a CYA measure.
