John and Greg,
As I have stated before, this AHJ is in a town next to mine. I was told these "stories" by other EC's at the supply house last week. What is an EC suppose to do? Well I would tell the EC challenge this particular AHJ and take him to the Construction Board of Appeal. Then the board would make a decision and the AHJ would have to live by it. The rumor has it that this AHJ is/was an engineer, but never had practical experience of being an EC out in the field.
I met the man once at a class but we didn't talk.
