This is above where the post 2165 was taken and I can see down into the garage. Needless to say a re- inspection is required.

It's just a steel to steel joint....Would you rather them use pipe dope?

If you fall off the roof, I guess you are screwed.

Alrighty then....it's a j-box. The trouble with that is the conduit has to be removed to access the inside of the j-box.

250......I am pretty sure that the fireblock foam may be an issue with CPVC so watch out there....Look at blazemaster or Lubrizol's website (or flowguard) they are pretty specific as to what can touch CPVC...
Okay so you are pretty sure that it may be a problem. Now we need to know absolutely, positively for sure

Steveray looks like your right, but the sprinklers are in the floor assembly and attic and where they penetrate the draftstopping they are fire taped on both sides, good catch tho I will keep that in mind.

Fire tape is OK for draftstopping IMO, but if the CPVC penetrates a rated assembly, then it would need a listed penetration detail (probably with intumescent caulk)....And I would have to look again at fireblocking...
09/01/2016 was like every other average day.
I was there to inspect the insulation. This was the first time that I have been on this job. The contractor immediately tried to be a tall dog. He tells me, "Hey man I don't mean to be a jerk but the other inspector approved the framing and all of the roughs". So i'm thinking "Ya you are a jerk". Then he says, "Sealing the plates is part of the framing inspection and comes before insulation so that the inspector can see the plates". To which I replied, "We can discuss that in a moment but right now I need to write corrections". And he lamented, Correctionssss".
The plumbing contractor couldn't resist destroying some framing.
By the time I was done, he was happy......that I was done.

In the last pic, is that some kind of hip beam ridiculously cut?....Other than that, improper nail plates, fireblocking, stud and possibly plate repair is all I got...
Checking to see if the electrician put in the jumper (cold , hot to gas) on a service upgrade can impact my opinion of the electrician.
It's a quick skid to the bottom when they tell me that they found it like this.

There is usually a rubber gasket associated with this flashing and for some reason this one is turned sideways.

The roofer explained that the owner wants him to dam up the end of this so that the rain water will enter the drain. The drain is connected to the building sewer.

It was an easy enough day. I did 13 inspections and only wrote 32 corrections. Some days I can get near 32 on one inspection.
This inspection was for the condenser and coil. I wrote a correction about the clear space required in front of the fused disconnect.
The fence is part of a dog pen. I stepped in a pile of dog shlt on my way to her condo. Every other condo has a similar pen with a barking dog. Her's is a boxer. A white boxer. That's just wrong. Boxers are supposed to be mostly brown.
Well I couldn't get to the coil because the contractor did not provide a ladder and the furnace is in an attic. I was able to see the electrical panel.

This inspection is for a final on a re-roof. The owner wants me to write a correction because the contractor didn't replace the plaster that covered the counter flashing prior to tearing off the old roofing. He said that his wife is upset because they paid over $20,000.00 for a $6,000.00 roofing job. Well he doesn't know that it's a $6,000.00 roof and I didn't let on. He does know that he got screwed big time.

This job is a service upgrade. The contractor called me this morning to ask when I would arrive at his inspection. I told him that I planned on being there between 9 and 11. That set him off.....he wanted as late as possible. I agreed to delay until pm. He wasn't there so what difference did it make. I like it when jerks are not there.
He got ahead of himself with the stucco. Gave it a little too much too and the door will not close.
Bulging is not good.

I'm pretty sure that the condenser is just sitting on the roof.

The furnace and A/C were replaced. I asked the owner what the cord and plug is for. He told me that there is an attic vent with a fan. Sorry about the picture but there is an ancient attachment plug hanging from a lamp cord which is most likely 16 AWG.
He got lucky with the knot holes. There are two spots with open air splices. But he did use wire nuts.
The furnace is in a closet directly below the vent. The upper combustion air opening is under the towel.....wrapped around the vent. The correction says "Provide code compliant combustion air opening". I want the contractor to call me and ask what I want.
Paranite sounds like some dangerous stuff that could burn down the house.
