Countertop outlets.

It's a mess. Rats made a rat condo under the counter. The trim guys put nails into the abs vent, and the hot water line there under the sink. So my helper does exactly what I told him; police all the nails. When he pulled that one, we got water. 4 tenant condo. Common water heater, buried in a laundry room. Had to wait 3 hours while the scalding water squirted under the slab, then blow out water for 4 units, then replace the pipe section, rope the electrical. Then rock. Has to be done and painted today.

I'll post more hilarity later.

I can be a Ricardo Cabeza like that too.

I like to say "If it was easy anybody could do it, doesn't that make you feel special?"

No. Really. He was a dick. Name was Richard Leaker. No shlt. You can't make that up.

He was pretty awesome, but brooked no shlt. Loved him.

I'll post some stories tonight if I get a chance.
 
I've been confused with a Richard Head....way too often for it to be a coincidence.

Check your birth certificate.

Remember, Bill Cosby thought he was Jesus Christ until he was a teenager.

In the recent pics., it appears as though some compliant type

nail guards are also needed to be installed [ i.e. - over the ABS

piping, and over the conductors that are too close to outside

edge of the framing. ].

I don't hate myself enough to not do that. They are present. :)

Brent, Where's the margarita machine outlet? pc1
We put those things in after final, I recently had a customer show up with a fancy $2,500 Italian espresso machine, I told the owner that the inspector was a good guy and would probably walk right by it, but so we don't get him in trouble I'll drill the limestone backsplash and install it after final.
