Eric,

Five minute inspections are a fact of life.I've heard from some inspectors that have to do 15 or 20 inspections a day. When you figure in even a modest amount of travel time and the time it takes to do the paperwork, 5 minutes on site sounds about right. Add to that the "Multi-Hat" requirement, & if the smoke ain't pouring out, it probably looks like a safe job.

You've got my sympathy. Maybe you should be talking to your wife & mother-in-law instead, maybe they have some power.

Good luck

Tom

Few things are harder to put up with than the annoyance of a good example.
