Scott 35, I've never worked in Bell yet, but...
The socialist republic of Lomita has an inspector that wouldn't bat an eye to this!
I did a rewire of a private school there & I almost busted out laughing in front of him...
We called for rough wall inspection, He shows up & the first thing he asks me is "What's that putty on your boxes?" I explained that it was a "FIRE PAD" & it was there because of the rated corridor. His reply "Oh." moving right along he stops & looks puzzled at a lighting whip coming from the ceiling... "Why is your flex so small?" he quieried... "It's MC Cable... It comes with the wire already in it" I reply... "Hmmmm, Sounds expensive!" he says... (I'm starting to loose it at this point)But I tell him that it saves on labor... finally we get to the back & he fingers around in one of the switch boxes & asks "Where's your ground?".. I pull the green pigtail out & he then takes me over the top.... "Oh yeah, it's the green one!".... The superintendant & I look at each other & almost lost it completely!!! I can't fathom how a person so lacking of even the BASIC knowledge of our trade could become an official! Later on I called him to look at the switchgear & he asks me what he's looking for it it!!!!!
