Hidden Wires in Rafters, Beams, or Eaves!

There are times when an electrician will hide wires within the beams or rafters for a few reasons.  An open beam home will not have the options of hidding wires in the attic space, and consequently hide them inside the beams or on the side.  This can be a severe issue without the help of the homeowner, builder, or building plans.  It is imperitive to locate the wires in the beam before any penetration. 

A two man team with cellphones are crucial.  One man will find the wires, measure them from the eave to the wire and relay.  The roofer will mark the no zones on the roof and evaluate layout for pins.  Most likely the layout will be slightly different, but will not hinder structural untegrity.  A roof-bolt can not be more than four feet away.
