I take "violation" pictures on a nearly daily basis. Most of the work has been inspected, and passed.
We have, I think, more regulations, and less competent inspectors, than anyplace else.
Many seem to be nothing more than Tax Collectors, very hot on permit fees, very cool on inspecting.
Re: Volunteerism
Steve, I know you've put lots of time and effort into this, and other Forums. I believe that you're one of the most dedicated of all...to the "cause".
I hate to see you so sour.
Somebody has to carry the ball. I know damn well you're not gonna stop. You can't, perserverance is in you...S

Now I'll go shoot myself in the foot again by putting up pictures of my customer's messes. If they saw them, I'd probably be looking for a job.
BTW, I really don't think I'll be upping my IAEI membership this time.
