I wonder if these planks have grade stamps?

I've seen the video before and I'm amazed every time I watch it! The question I have is how in the world did they make the turn to get lined up with those planks?conarb said:

Many dollars were wasted on drinking fountians. Nobody uses them and there was an expectation that there would be a herd of people using wheelchairs.
The carpet is Brent proof.

Nothing is really Brent proof. Maybe somewhat Brent resistant.
That's mostly just camouflage.

Come to think of it I haven't see a water drinking fountain in years, I thought they went away with low flush toilets and low flow faucets.

That's because you guys in California keep expanding in an area that doesn't have any water! You try to steal it from everybody in the Southwest and they are finally fighting back. Some of us in other parts of the country have abundant sources of water.conarb said:

We've allow the installation of partitions (barriers) or rails (guards) that projects from the wall or floor beyond and on both sides of the drinking fountains as detectable warnings; see 307.4 for details in accordance with section 103.
He is a contractor and Flipper is his name. The permit is for a bathroom remodel and taking part of the living room to enlarge the master bedroom. I was there for the final and noticed that all of the lights, switches and receptacles have been replaced....without a permit.
Well I went looking for the ARC fault protection at the service panel. Oh my what a mess that is.
The box on the right is a disconnect for the HVAC that is on the roof. It won't open because the door hits the service front cover. There is #6 wire coming from a 100 amp breaker in the service panel.
There is no dead front cover and even if there were, the #12 GEC is in the way.
Any bets out there that they will claim that it was all done under a permit.

I hate to see this. What else can they do? The shingles are old and so brittle that getting under them is out of the question...but that's not what bothers me.
The kid doing the work is doing okay considering what he has to work with.

Another flipper tells me that this water heater was there when he purchased the house. He swears that there is a permit on file for a water heater. I told him that is entirely possible but it's just not this water heater.

A few years ago, I believe it was in Marin County, an inspector was on a roof and a contractor happened to drive by and see him, he turned him into CalOSHA and it made all the papers. If it was me I wouldn't have done that, I would have taken a picture with my cell phone, the next time Tiger came by one of my jobs and wrote my up I'd whip out my cell phone, show him the picture, and say: "Now Tiger you don't really want to write me up do you?"[/URL]
They installed a flush beam which opened up the living room to the kitchen ....without a permit. They also dry-walled all of the lids. The permit that they have now obtained is for a kitchen remodel. I made them remove a 12'x4' section of the lid so that I can see what's been done. All along they have claimed that the only electrical work is in the kitchen.
That elephant's trunk worth of Romex in the background is a bunch of cut ends and is abandoned wiring. I was told that, oh there was some electrical work done after all...as in a complete rewire.
The guy that I am dealing with is a sleazy, smarmy azzhole. He keeps calling me boss. "Yes sir boss" "What can we do next boss". That is such a tell that he has done some serious cell time. I want to...well you know.

A little above and behind the service head - is that conduit and three wires cut flush with the side of the house?

Do you guys really require a permit to replace lights, switches and receptacles? I understand that they should be required for installation of new recessed lights or possibly even a replacement but for other lighting, switches and receptacles it certainly sounds like an overkill and a rule that I would never follow!ICE said:
Shirley you will see the light. The receptacles will require ARC fault protection and the lights must meet the energy code. The switches will end up being replaced with dimmer switches for most rooms. So of course they wouldn't know any of that if they didn't get a permit. And even then, they wouldn't know any of that until they get an inspection.Msradell said:
