Another rule which in our opinion is debatable but to be on the sure side we buy these clamps and Juergen installs them:

And then there comes another hurdle: the electrical boxes which have to be installed on top of the insulation boards are a bit too high. 1. they do not stick out of the drywall We are afraid to run into problems during the inspection when we cut a hole into the insulation boards. |
