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
Subtlties here of particular caliber and depth Reno...
we are a symbiant entity, the trade and it's oversight
in fact, i've been IAEI certified , if only to advocate just that, and have invited many into the fold since
But you thorw all those self made invincible libetopians in the mix, and the next thing you know all that oversight is painted socialist
Thus we're gleefully off to throw each other under the bus while reciting Ayn Rand, who, FYI died of cancer while recieving government handouts under the pseudonym Ann O'Connor
The ranting hypocricy of the socially stunted, rejected, and 'died alone for a reason' jr high level misanthrpoists misfits should, imho, not be lauded as the salvation of social order in America
