Obviously, this is not ideal but these things always involve
a compromise and balancing of multiple variables.

There is no negotiation or compromise on code violations. This setup is
blatantly wrong.

I hear reasons for people to mistrust contractors every day this job
is one of them. When hiring one ask to see his qualifacations if he
is hesitent go on to one who isn't. I do plumbing and some small
carpentry but i know my limits and will tell you when hired. This
person should learn his. When in doubt hire thru big box as they
usauly stand behind there jobs
