The job of the inspector is to verify compliance with code. Period. It isn't to take shortcuts, or to tell everyone how the code "is so grey" that it no longer matters, or to make up your own interpretations. And yes - I do suggest fixes whenever possible. But I don't cross the line as some here obviously do. I respect the codes, the people that write them, and what they have to say as far as interpretation. I don't manipulate the codes, or wordsmith the codes. And I dig deep to get to the true meaning.
I consider myself to be a professional, and I can see why I'm needed here. I will continue to post, so the public gets the true meaning of the NEC code in the various questions that are being asked. Have a good weekend!
