Here is depends a whole lot on who you are, if they think you know what you're doing and don't feel like you are trying to hide something from them they will let you tell them about something rather than having to see it if it got concealed.

Dead Men suspenders?

my strategy was to ptu it in the trench and take pictures and deal with a permit when i wanted to hook it up.

Acktually, I think we’re overdue for a suspenders revival

I use them.

I think the typical plumber jokes would suggest 90% of plumbers should be wearing them.

there are also companies that make drop in liners that are molded to the tub, that is another option.

thanks ,but you left out a common problem and that's removing insulation from pipes and not replacing it. I've found many customers complaining of poor heat distribution especially the farthest radiators. when asked about conditions and we get to insulation , they bought the house with no insulation on the pipes. There goes the result of the asbestos scare. too much heat lost to the basement and the steam turns into condensate before reaching the far radiators. and the heating bill is 10 to 30 percent higher than it needs to be.

Just thinking beyond the electrical aspect of this conversation… have you given any consideration to also running a water line out to the garage? It might prove wicked handy to wash a vehicle under cover as opposed to out in a driveway.

You can run two pipes and leave one empty for future use.
