Actually I just got back my response from the inspectors office on
drywall.

Repairing drywall requires a permit. Meaning if I put a doorknob through
my
wall I have to get a permit to repair it. How do these people sleep at
night?

Damn! Where do you live, anyway?

King County Wa. I don't even live in a city, just unincorporated county.

Actually I misspoke, technically a permit is required to repair drywall,
however if you drive down to the office and present them with plans on what
you are trying to do - they might wave the permit, then again they might
not. I can even post the e-mail, but haven't to protect the poor sap who
wrote me the e-mail. However the e-mail will ABSOLUTELY find its way to the
next general election, one of the county representatives happens to live 5
doors down from me. Rules like this are exactly why people break the law
and corruption spreads.
