ECN Forum Forums General Topics of the Trade General Discussion Area Is this typical for inspectors in your area?

that is hard to say, without knowing all of the facts.
around here once the inspectors knows your work,which after a few inspections they can tell if you are trying to cut corners just to get by,or not installing according to the code.
on some of the inspections that i was present at the time of the inpection, i had them to just have an over all veiw of what i had done, may ask what i had install over all, especially when upgrading a service.
then without removing the cover on the panel they would sign off on it.
in the beginning when i had first had inspections done, they would remove the cover from the panel board and check carefully, even if i had ran a feeder for a mobile home or a out side building.
