NoWouldn't the tanks need straps to prevent floating up?
They didn't use glue. I recommended that they remove entire sheets rather than cut open the the areas that have electrical. They decided to cut open rather than remove.Box depth and gap around the e-box, ...not good!
Do you think they used glue on the drywall or can they just back the screws out?
who would have approved that design a 3'6" can side support an 8' wall! Maybe they fully reinforce masonry fences in California? Footing for existing wall looks to be a sloping footing never seen that with masonry.
The first time that they open the lid on one of those tanks will be the last time.
It'll be new to them. A riser alone will not drain the tank.They make risers for those tanks to bring them to grade once they are buried. This is nothing new
Well the plans states there is an existing footing where obviously there is not because there I a pipe where there should be what appears to be calling out a continuous footing. Cant quit tell if that is a footing above the pipe or not. Either way that is a wall collapse waiting to happen.
what does the neighbor have to say?
At least your state has contractor license laws. But I wonder too if contractor license laws really make a difference.
A circuit that requires AFCI elsewhere in the code has been modified with an additional device.Why would AFCI be required outside?
I take umbrage with your characterization of multiple-discipline inspectors as not qualified. I am one. I work with several. While I lack the breadth of electrical code knowledge that you possess, I can hold my own for what I am called to accomplish. You’re in the wrong forum to be throwing stones at inspectors.As someone who has worked in PA where there is no licensing and Florida where there is strict licensing, yes, there is a difference in many ways but not in all ways. Whenever you have good quality building code enforcement, you have better contractors. Whenever you have weak code enforcement such as multi-discipline inspectors or simple ignorance, then you still have many of the same problems. When your state license is highly valued and difficult to attain, you are more likely to protect it by making sure your work is done right. In PA, however, you just move on to the next town when you are a bad contractor. There are a lot of guys that live in WB or Scranton and never worked in those cities because they have actual competency based licensing.
