That's what I'd like to know, how is it in your State? Do you know how to fight an inspector who is wrong? What would you have done in this situation, with a bunch of houses we can't get occupancy permits for if we stop to fight? Truth now

Hoooboy! we're diss'n the ten commandments of contracting here George.. [Linked Image], to forever be branded as 'Judas' is a bad thing, i've seen it happen.

I've been involved in similar scenarios , pursuing what i felt is right, only to concede @ the point of argument in the assumption (note prefix..) that the state is responsible for the call.

Not one to pull the lions tail, i'd probably bond the G-pipe after the powers that be left, permit in hand.
