Sure, we're told ... get a permit. A permit. Then the job starts....
Every time you turn around there's ANOTHER inspector, with ANOTHER set of rules and changes. Even after you're 'signed off,' you get visits from folks who want to count the trees in the parking lot .....
Good heavens- just how many inspections can there be? Even a simple commercial remodel nearly needs someone there full-time, just to greet the countless inspectors.
At some point, the justifications begin wearing thin. I mean ... having a tree quota for the parking lot is a SAFETY concern?
Naturally, any grievance you may have is YOUR fault. YOUR fault that you didn't give them a larger budget, wider powers, a larger staff, a better stranglehold on you.
Of course .. I AM currently reading "Atlas Shrugged," and that might be winding me up ... a little
