Hello all.

I'm a recently-hired Building Inspector/Code Enforcement/Zoning Enforcement Officer from a small city in Southern Illinois. I was casually browsing the web for like-employed folks, and found you all. Been lurking for a couple weeks and have put some info. I've gained from past threads here to use, so thought I'd introduce myself and say Thanks.

My background is in the trades; I was a GC for several years, and worked a number of jobs in various disciplines before that. It's a bit, um, different, on this side of the desk, but I'm getting used to it (I think!).

We're a small municipality, ~7000 residents, and just recently adopted the '09 I-codes (sans residential sprinklers). A requirement of my employment was that I complete a bunch of the ICC certs., so if none of you mind I'm sure there will be many, many questions in that regard from me in the future... I've passed the Permit Tech., Prop. Maint., and Legal module so far - working on Technology now. My city is paying for the tests and all my study materials, so I guess as long as I keep passing tests I'll keep taking them.

Anyway, just wanted to say Hi, and Thanks. Seems to be a bunch of knowledge here - hopefully I can someday add to it.

The entrance to the garage area is on the left and plan north. The electrical room is off the atrium on the right next to the seating and down a corridor.Whoops! Wrong thread. I'd delete this post if I knew how.

Welcome.

I too came to the dark side from the private sector just over 5 years ago.

There is an incredible wealth of knowledge here at the forum. Enjoy!

Although you can determine quite a bit about this forum in a few weeks, figuring out who to look to for help takes a while. Here's a time warp.

Accessibility..Mark Handler

Electrical......Chris, Dennis and Gregg

Plumbing......Francis Vineyard

Mechanical....Mtlogcabin

Framing........Brent

Pastry...........fatboy

Welcome JCraver, always nice to get a fresh perspective. Good luck in your new career as well. Many of us (in Codes) have a construction background as well.

Some of us have gone even farther into the darkness and also instruct Codes... :eek:
