So either I have been dealing with the lyingest buch of contractors lately or my peers in the inspection trade are really dropping the ball.
I can't believe in the last year how many times I have heard:
"Is that a local code"
"I just did this in ______ and they didn't make me do that"
"I have never heard of such a thing"
Well you get the point.
I just told a guy that he had to take his redundent grounding system back to the panel after he ran from the exam room to the last box in the office area. I had to ask him where he was going to get his redundent ground if he ran it to a box with only one ground. He told me that he had just been OSHPD certified and that I was the only inspector asking for that.
Also had his receptacle boxes to low, now that is a CA thing, and they did change it from "no lower than 15" measured to the center of the box" to "no lower than 15" measured to the bottom of the box". Measurements are AFF. Even with the change, it's still his job to know that.
Sorry no real question, just venting.
