Default Re: Overlooked by Building Inspector

I have a friend that has gutted an old farm house that I have done all the plumbing on. The inspector checked everything out & did not miss anything. He was inpressed with my work and was surprised that I was not a plumber. Now when it came to the electrical inspector, that was another story. She came in and never left the living room. She came a day early too. She gave us the ok. One side of the house had no wireing done at all yet. It was going to be done later that day. She looked at 1 switch and 2 recepticles. That was it.

She was upset because the government had cut their pay and then took something like 1/4 of their pay and put it into a forced retirement saveings plan for retirement.

She was in no mood to do any inspections. Everything has been done properly, but still!

He asked me if I though the buyers would back out. I told him, Sir I really don't know, maybe they won't mind a crooked roof.
crooked, hell that poor thing has scoliosis. i'd feel bad and buy it too. i like helping the needy.
