The $400 permit in C..., CA. got us a combination inspector that called me "dude", admitted that he knew nothing about electrical (including a story about his getting nearly electro'd while he was working on his own house).He wanted to "see everything work" before he would release the power.( Very hard to make him understand;3Ø service wouldn't work off the 1Ø temp power). He asked me to cite the Code sections that allowed us to put 6-#6 wires in an existing 1-1/2" conduit. Thought it was too full. I figured w/ that much $ out, we at least deserved somebody that took Electricity 1 in Junior High.
