The inspection was for footing location. He found out that the excavation is too shallow by 12 inches and therefor the re-bar ties are too small.

He found out that friction fit does not apply to reinforcement,

He attended a class on doweling steel....a free course of course.

I may have ruined any prospect of a good evaluation when I told him about temporary power poles.

The gentleman is Chinese and not so good with English. It took a long time to explain the problems.....a really long time and I'm not positive that I got through to him. Luckily, this is in another inspector's territory and I was there for just one day. I might have to take the job anyway for the pictures.
