How about the service panel upgrade that garnered 12 corrections? The contractor calls to schedule an inspection so I can go over the corrections with him. I explain that I don't do that as a routine and would be happy to discuss them over the phone.
So one by one we go through the corrections and I give him the reason for each correction. #7 was install a bonding bushing where conduit enters through an intact concentric ring. He states that this is ridiculous and he is in fact an electrical engineer and has been for 20 years.
I told him to feel free to ignore any corrections that he deemed ridiculous and asked if he had any more questions. Well sure he says "#8 is bond hot and cold waters pipes to each other at the water heater, whats that for"? I told him to apply his engineering acumen and see what he comes up with, next. #9 install a ST22 top plate strap at over-bored top plate. This was over his head so to speak. He gets it now.
