Ditto to Roger.
For whatever reason people become inspectors (for me it was arthritis in the knees/ankles) I try to emulate an old inspector in the area named Martin Harp, one of the true gentlemen EVER to grace the title inspector. Martin would never let you off by telling you it was against the code, he had to show you why, the reason for the interpretation, and the INTENT of the code, not just the black and white of it.
Time is always a problem, and I hope that some day, I can meet that standard. Don't just be a code quoter, but a teacher as well. Some of the best lessons I've ever had in this trade were ones Martin pencilled in on the drywall.
Good Luck.
