I leave 4-5 accordion bends of wire above the header or if its a hollow
header I leave a lot of slack inside the header.  MOST of the time when
something strange happens I can pull down on the wire and break it loose
from the foam.  Of course when the door guys drill the jamb in a different
place than my hle through the header all bets are off.  I also do not
hesitate to pop the casing off and leave it for their finish guys to go back
and fix when they do somethign stupid.  I only work with a couple generals
on new housing construction, and I make it clear I do better wortk than
others doing htis sort of thing.  If they make my work unprofitable I am
clear I just won't work for them.
