Two in one week. My AHJ has been studying the concept of inspectors not going on roofs at all....ever. The study has lasted a year or more.
What is that on the right hand side? It is in front of the cable with the open air splices that reaches out to the detached garage.
Inspectors should have side cutters and a license to use them.
Then we could graduate to sledge hammers and chainsaws.
This one really didn't matter as the house is a single story....I just thought it was goofy enough for a picture.

The cable that's in the conduit was an afterthought. The cables that enter through the back leave the building through a hole in the stucco.

Is that string/rope/twine?ICE said:I've not seen it done like this before.....there is a bunch of it too.
I've installed insulation and have used netting and metal rods to hold in the insulation. I have never seen anything like this picture.

That is wire. Usually the wire runs perpendicular to the floor joist only. The metal rods that you mentioned are prone to falling out. I do not accept them.

A solar contractor has installed a service panel upgrade. At the first inspection, I wrote a correction about the NMC in a conduit located in a wet location. That was one of 13 corrections and they didn't fix it because they didn't know what I was talking about. They didn't fix it the last four times that I have been there and I am always met by a different workman. Well today they dug out the other end of the conduit and it stops two inches below grade and the cable goes who knows where. Of course I am told that this is not their fault because it was existing.
There was a message waiting for me when I returned to the office. The contractor wanted to know what "graham cracker plywood" means. He understood "crap ladder".

Never seen wire like that either. Metal rods were used when installing insulation underfloor in late 80's by Community Action Agency.ICE said:
I see mostly netting here.

The job is a new duplex. This is the garage side of the wall between the house and the garage. The plan is to eliminate the 1/2" drywall and apply stucco. That doesn't sound like a terrible idea but the stucco step is too much to consider.
There is a wood framed step under the lath.

Why would they lath it to only tile it?

Fire rated assembly? I would have used expanded lath....
The job is a room addition and the owner is an electrical contractor. He wasn't sure that I had seen the UFFER so he drove a rod.
Is the access there just so that you can see the connection or do we want to be able to use tools once we are there?

It turns out that it is UF cable. Now the violation becomes it's only 2" into the dirt. It went to an equipment pad for a swimming pool that is not there anymore and now it's gone.pwood said:

That's standard issue on every production home I can remember. I would ask when and why you would ever need to work on it? What situation would that be?

if I was asked what was neat and workman like, the proceding 2 photos would not be an example
I don't think that I would be out of line if I referred this to code enforcement for trash, junk and debris visible from the street. That is what it's built out of.
