John,

I don't know what to say, after a lifetime in this trade, I have never seen anything like it is today, a large number in the trade, have little or no understanding of the permit process. It first came to my attention, when I read posts claiming, permits were a goverment grab, for money, or goverment interfering in trade.

My bet is less then 10% of those in the trade can tell you why the building codes were developed, and how the insurance industry rates communties.

I say go with the CEU's on UCC there is a real need for it.
