Congrats to Mr. Hagarty

First off I agree with what Mr. Decker had to say.
Local County as well as City Codes WILL prevail if you want your permit signed of for the installation of ANY GAS appliance that is installed. Manufacturer's Installation Instructions are posted to keep them out of hack when the appliance is not installed correctly.

Mr. Hagarty, maybe a donation of the Beam to a young and upcoming Inspector would be nice?

Mr. Gromicko, I would be more than happy to donate a Beam to Mr. Stanczyk as he was the closest Inspector to the right answer. Please contact me with the information, cost, etc..

I install a great deal of these appliances and NEVER without a permit and NEVER outside of local code.

Being a Home Inspector is a Great Career just as is being a Contractor, which I am both. I have a great deal of respect for NACHI and all it's constituents. We should endeavor to understand the line that supposedly separates them. Just my opinion.

Mr. Gromicko, my number is 530-272-7333 and email is altasierradecks@yahoo.com

I have used this technique against City of Chicago code inspectors (the hardest, in my experiences) and 'won' (for the client).

Just whip out the 'liability acceptance' form and watch the stutter, chew on their cigar for awhile, say a rude word or two and walk away.

Serve the client. YOU are the only thing that stands between them and an uncaring world.

Sometimes Wisdom, Expertise, and Experience are passed on and then again those that hold these levels of knowledge choose to feel that they are the "ones" and those that seek are meerly less knowledgeable. For those that have this ability maybe it is time to share the wealth, to share knowledge, and to share their ability to make great Home Inspectors, especially those that frequent this board and those that have something to say. There are those that possess this ability but yet they consistentant do not allow a fellow to get in a word edgewise. Be advised, there are those read these posts on a daily basis that have something very important to say. "Listen" This is just my opinion.

Mr. Gromicko,
Have you been too busy to respond to my post or have you decided that it is not that important? Remember where you came from Nick, it was not that long ago.
