Maybe it is an April fools...I would wait it out until May 1st to make sure.
 
Amen Permit!

Safety is cool and I wish we could market it every week regardless of who (or whom) is advocating it ;) :)

The words No Permit No Inspection Could have KILLED someone is nearly in every show

The exposure to the public is tremendous and the result is probably something like this

Now that I have see the show I know what to watch out for so

I can hire the low price guy and if I relly watch him even a little bit

we wont need those silly permits! everything will be OK

I experience Architect1281's post every day when working at the permit counter, and it isn't just from watching some show. It's from talking to family members who had the work done and watched somebody else do it. It's from talking to neighbors, or a fly-by-night contractor on a project down the street. All well intended, nevertheless, no good deed goes unpunished. I wouldn't say that blame should be assigned to Mr. Holmes, but there will be just as much likely hood someone will get a permit as doesn't from watching his show.
