Recent top of my list:


"Hi, I'm the EC.
I've NEVER failed an inspection yet!"

200 amp resi service upgrade job.

Panel not marked!
Incompatible CB's in new panel.
NM connectors used for AC/BX (Plastic buttons)

Guess what I said.....I got your cherry!

BTW, how long have you been in business? (After looking at his Lic #)

"This is my second job, the first one was not inspected yet!"

Lee:
I have given serious thoughts to writing a book about all these situations, but people would think it is a work of fiction!


Another goodie is:

Homeowner permit for whatever.....

I trip the GF on the twistlock for the AG pool and ask the HO
"Where is it so it can be reset?"

Sometimes....the blank stare into space.....
Or; "The 'lectrician didn't tell me where he put it"

More to come

What I like to hear from the EC's is that Well in your town you won't let me do this. Yet in town "B" that inspector will let me do it.

My answer is, I AM that inspector in town "B", and I don't let you do it there either!


Note! This only works in the towns that I work in! LOL
