OK, as to AHJ's finding less violations....

The major stumbling block lately seems NOT to be NEC related......it seems to be the EC's lack of checking the job before the inspection.

NO, not all EC's, no not all jobs, but....finding five bad GFI's in one house???

Spacing issues (6-12) (>24" walls) kitch counters, etc.???

a quote from today..." I changed three GFI's out the other day, how can these not work"?
Reply..."you are standing next to me while I test them, where's your tester"??

Seems that I should try to get a approved course on procedures.

If that Ec reads this, please don't take it personal, I'm not singling anyone out, and no location or names are mentioned.

I have heard all of those, [duck]might have used some too[/duck]! But those are in response to this.....

Boss/PM:
"I've never heard of anything like that..."
"Just don't worry about it."
"Since when?"

Or Designer/Architect:
"I've never heard of anything like that..."
"Just don't worry about it."
"Since when?"

Constantly edjucating your superiors can be a drag!
