El, I'm not sure rubber stamping jobs is the worst part, I think rubber stamping some half baked idea by the Senior Code Official may be the most dangerous. I find that, on their own, most electricians (I mean trained, this is MY trade types) will do an adequate job at best left to their own devices. I guess I'm just a dinosaur, you make the call, you oughta be man enough to eat it. In Other Words, THINK before you act. [Linked Image]

Don,
Checked my brand new copy of the International Residential Code last night, daggone, section E3509.7 & .8 say you're gonna bond the gas pipe to the electrical service, how 'bout that? [Linked Image]
