The problem in this state (MA) is that the inspectors are town or city employees. The job is generally not what you know but who you know. Many are part time and not paid very well. It makes it hard for everyone involved. If people had a permit and inspection for every job people did people would never have time to actually perform any work. The reality is "I'll get there some time after eleven" just does not cut it. It is not fair and it is not right. These are our tax dollars and permit fees at work.
