Bob- Sorry for the delay but I've thinking about what you said and I agree with you basic thought about verifying operation but there are some things that I need to verify, like polarity, GFCI protection, grounding and continuity. Maybe they don't do that in your area but we do here in Michigan.
No apology needed.

George, I try to preface my statements with 'in this area' etc. I know all inspection departments work differently.
I also do not mean to come across that "We do it right and all others should follow"
You must work in the way that is accepted practice in your area.
There would have to be substantial changes in the inspection Dept's. manpower here if the inspectors checked my circuits and checked for print compliance.
I will point out MA has a one year mandated warranty. The customers have a full year to find any problems and we have to fix them. If we do not fix the problems the customer can report us to the state and the state can fine, suspend or even revoke the companies license.
Anyway thanks for the compliment and it is obvious that you are an inspector that cares about the work also.
Bob
