How many guys here DISAGREE with "....don't plan on working there again" ???
I, as an inspector, and an EC strongly object to this stance. If the EC is correct (to the 'Code'), then he should stand his ground! Filing a complaint (or whatever) against an AHJ, and basically running away, whether you win or loose?? Why??
Yes, 'retribution' (by the AHJ) could be expected....but..do you have/do anything to deserve it?? Get a red sticker for a chip in a trim plate??? Stand your ground, do it again & again, as long as YOU are right.
Here in NJ, we have a County Board of Construction Appeals, within most counties to handle situations between contractors/homeowners/and inspectors. It's not "perfect", but the situations are resolved!
BTW:IMHO not bonding the copper water piping?? They still make LSD?????
