I remember one inspector who hated a particular electrician - on his
jobs surface mounted items would be rejected as insufficiently
attached, but you could see the pry marks where the inspector had
pried them off the wall!


How long did that inspector remain in traction, and did he ever regain
the ability to walk?

I'd like to see the movie the electrician took to prove his point
about the jerk.


Ive seen an inspector do something similar. Shrug. I told the
electrician about it....and he went bug nuts and kicked the **** out of
the inspector out back of the job site. Evidently they had a feud going
on for a long time..and it came to a head. According to a Deputy buddy
of mine doing court duty......when it came to trial, there was a Very
long list of electricians and other contractors, who showed up to
testify AGAINST the inspector..at which point the charges were dropped,
the inspector was fired and run out of town.. After he had spent a
couple weeks in the hospital...shrug. Bob had beat him like a redheaded
stepchild.

He dinged me for not having a 3 wire transformer running the alarm
system Id just installed. Back in the 80s..there was no such thing, nor
was it advised, let alone required.

Inspectors may..may be a requirement..and they may be treated (some)
like the boogy man..but its because of their problems..not because
"everyone hates inspectors". Most are very very good. Some are
ignorant when something new appears before them. The Good ones work with
the contractor. The bad ones become assholes.


Whenever a Liberal utters the term "Common Sense approach"....grab your
wallet, your ass, and your guns because the sombitch is about to do
something damned nasty to all three of them.
