Tiger, you've probably hit upon the reason this thread disturbs me.
For example, in my work .... (and those who've seen pictures of it will agree that I'm far from perfect!) ... a recent job was gone over by several inspecting organizations, and a 4-page "punch list" developed.
My part of that list came down to maybe 6 or seven items; most are pictured here in the thread "Pay attention to detail!" In similar jobs, where the inspection was limited to code issues, it's rare for there to be more than one area to be addressed. A typical example was one house where I had not switched the attic light from the access port - simply because the location of that portal had not yet been decided.
That this job received such a lengthly write-up is most unusual. My It just doesn't seem right. Was the inspector getting carried away with his own importance? Was the contractor a marginal hack? Was the homeowner doing other stuff - as well as having his kitchen remodeled? I really can't say.
If I could, I'd get pictures of each item on this list .... and post them for comment. For example, I'd like to see a pic of the 'inaccessible' junction boxes under the counter.
