I can deal with most profession Inspectors that work for the various municipalities and jurisdictions. I generally find that working with them instead of butting heads goes a long way. Most times I can win them over and we can have a win/win discussion about what the intent of the requirements are...and I'm not above making a change if it's a low-cost way of getting out of a squirrely situation. Sometimes I need to go over their head; it generally works but it also sours any chance of a future peaceful coexistence.

My major issue with the vast majority of 'Home Inspectors' is that they compare everything to the standards of the most recent edition. I think if they were inspecting a log cabin in a frontier recreation town they would cite it for lack of GFCI receptacles.
