Greetings all,
I learned the term from our former mayor. CAVE. Citizens Against Virtually Everything. You all know the type.
I ran into one that is a real piece of work yesterday. He was upset about my turning down his mobile home electric inspection. Several issues not to mention the really big pit tied by the front door preventing me from checking smoke detectors on the interior. He was totally po'ed and attempting to draw me into a fight or so it would seem.
Anyway, I do have a question on how other folks deal with multiple issues. My deal on these electric inspections is that I stamp the tag with a stamp that I carry in my truck that says "Wiring does not comply with the 2011 NEC. An electrical contractor must make repairs. Electric permit required" I've learned over the years to not paint myself into a corner by detailing what's wrong as there is frequently more wrong than meets the eye. But then you have these aholes that want this stuff itemized. Of course this guy doesn't know a thing about electricity anyway and was just trying to start some poop. I was wondering if someone out there might have a great magic answer. I don't think there is one. My stamp works quite well 98% of the time. It's these danged 2%ers that get my goat.
Just needing to vent as much as anything I guess.
You all have a great day!
