Usually I see people trying to slide this by using a cord and plug connection. Then they say it is just a lamp.
Rope light gets hung this way all the time.

In these days of declining budgets, have you thought of charging extra when you do these evaluations?

IF there was a 'fee' that could be charged.....I guess it would be..."Happy Days are here again"
State law into plain english is 'as many inspections as it takes'; no additional fees for re-insp, off hours, nights, weekends, holidays.

That is strange to me. My reinspection fee was $150, although I never charged anyone for that. (I always found a way to save them). Lee County charges a reinspection fee too. It used to be $35 but I think it is $50 now.
I was really thinking about a "value added service", beyond regular building inspections tho. If you are certifying a piece of equipment that is not listed, that is not really a building inspection. The problem might be a legal liability.

Yes, that's about the reason. Along with possible conflict issues; the rules are the rules.

John,
Sometimes I wish we had re-inspection fees, how many times have we gone back on a HO job that takes 3 or 4 or more times to get it good enough to pass inspection.

Unless you are really whizzing off the inspector, they usually find a way out of charging you the reinspection fee.
I used to call it a "Partial" and OK everything that was OK, then have them call me back to see the things they fixed. Lee County also does something I started years earlier. If it is something you can get a good picture of, send me a picture in an Email.
On the structural for my tie beam my inspector was fine with me taking pictures of the additional steel he wanted and as long as I got it to him by the end of the day, it went in as a "pass". (that is why I have such nice pictures of my tie beam steel on my web page). They all have web connected laptops in their truck.
