Hey Dave,
It's Buffalo Grove. I did check their code ver. and amendments before hand. 1996 NEC. with like I said nothing about no G rods.
http://www.bpcnet.com/codes/buffgrove/ We did a service a few years ago there when they had the last inspecter and never remember anything about this.
Just feels like were getting a hazing cause were not known to the inspectors.
It's other things too:
The first secluded rough inspection he refused to inspect because the plans stamped approved could not be located.
He spent an hour to inspect >1000 sf residential 1st floor.
Had to disassemble a Juno 3" can to prove the factory box was accesible.
Will not permit 3/8 greenfield for fish in existing walls. Wants no less than 1/2 flex. Could not find anything about that in their local amendments.
Wanted existing drywall torn out to remove existing abandoned dead end boxes and pipes.
Probably the biggest problem is the designer changes made to the lighting plans. Now he said he would not pass the final unless everything is exactly like the approved plans. Or the "Architect" can submit revised drawing for approval. The GC did not seem to be to worried about this so I'm stuck in the middle.
Of coarse the GC is still trying to get the framing inspection. 1st time they did not have the approved plans. 2nd time the approved job site plans were too hard for the inspector to read.
