This is the easiest way for a code enforcement official to get his butt called to the carpet should they run into the right contractor. Let me be clear, I am one of those contractors. How was that for my first post?
When an inspector writes on their inspection report, “in my opinion” I will usually throw it in the trash and continue as though he had written nothing.
I promise that this would be one mad inspector before the sun goes down or maybe even one mad unemployed person.
As far as the inspector’s opinion, I have an opinion also and both of us we also have something else, and both stink. I am in business to make money not to discuss the opinions of how an installation is to be done.
Is this site a joke or something?
As an electrical inspector I hang my head in shame. It hurts my heart deeply that there are people out there that have the public’s safety in their hands that has no clue of what they are doing. They think that if they can do 30 inspections a day they have accomplished something special when the truth of the matter is, if they do only one inspection correctly then they have accomplished something.
As a contractor I say the same thing I have been saying for 45 years. Inspectors are the biggest joke that has ever been pulled on the public. It would be my guess that less than 10% of the inspectors out there today are qualified to do what they get paid for.
Being a certified electrical inspector in no way makes someone qualified. In some cases an electrical inspector is the least qualified on a job.
I was just trying to point out just how un-qualified most electrical inspectors are.
The sad part is these same folks are getting paid for my safety and have no clue at all of what they are doing.
Mr. Fretwell, do you realize what you are saying sometimes when you post or do you just post what comes to mind?
Come on now stop with the silly post and try as hard as you can to support you listing comments.
and the reason that you will never be able to compete with me when it comes to the electrical code
Are you wanting to get married or something?
My answer is no even if you promise to sleep face down.
So you already knew that I would not marry you even if you did sleep face down.
I know full well that we ain’t getting together now. Wanting all these men like that what is going on with him?
Five days and six replys. I suppose that some could take this to mean that there are many electrical inspectors that already know it all and have no room for learning any thing more.
Of course I already know that the world is full of electrical inspectors that claim they know far more than those charged with the writing of the codes and some will even start calling the compliant work substandard in order to prove just how smart they are.
Two things come to mind. Most code enforcement officials at some point get the “GOD” syndrome and think that they can make the rules to fit their opinions.
dumb :butt electrical inspectors that has seen something they think is a good idea and want to keep seeing it. They form some dumb idea in their head and claim it is the intent of the code without doing one second of research.
This is due to the lousy complacent inspection department not because it is legal.
Most code officials think that the people they are addressing are stupid.
He should have lost his ability to inspect. In my opinion he is not worthy to work at a car wash.
I would venture so far as to say that I have forgotten more than a some code enforcement officials will know in their entire life
