hugmeOk, so last time the inspector was here he made me a list of all the things we have to do. I did them, every fucking one. Moving the sub panel because the ceiling in the room it was in is 5'9" instead of 6' took an entire day. Everything on his list passed. but he came up with a bunch of new bullshit.... and I do mean bullshit....
Want to hear what kind of bullshit rules there are?
if you have a staircase it counts as an entrance... even if the stairs are in the middle of the floor you have to have an outlet on each floor within 6' of the stairs... even if the stairs are in the middle of the floor... this means you have to have 4 outlets on the floor it comes form and 4 on the floor below plus 2 outlets on each side of the stair walls.. yes, that's a total of 10 outlets or almost an entire circuit.. even if the stairs are in the middle of the floor you have to add floor outlets even if those outlets are in a main through center of traffic so that they will be walked on constantly and become a serious hazard.
this is the third time we have failed inspecting.. and each time it's different bullshit they have come up with... this has gotten to the point where it's fucking ridiculous!!!
They wonder why people don't want to get permits... THIS IS WHY!!!
again, I will suggest if you can get away with not getting a permit... don't get one!
