That's just the conflict of interest, we also have permit rules that only a EC or homeowner may do his own work and that's if it's not for sale lease or rent. The owner must pull the permit and the only one legally who can work under that permit is immediate family member. So not your buddy, paid or not

actually pretty obvious what is going on.
I was asked about the breaker. I followed them into the home past the meter to the only sub-panel, where I see six handles and no main. Asked if there was another location with a main switch. Answer No.
I said no need to change the breaker as it had a spare pole and the correct amperage for what they were doing. ( roll of 12-2 on the floor) The inspector/contractor replied with " it's against code to use a 2 pole for single pole circuits"
I told him it was legitimate. I said nope. He said hew was an Electrical inspector and he knew the code. After he saw me count up the handles he knew where I was going next. He said that only applies if there is no main. I said you just confirmed to me there was no main.
You could see the steam coming from this guy's head.
Again this guy said " I'm a inspector for the city of xxx xxxxo I know what I am doing. ..... rurr ......
On that note I saw a pissing match comming on and quickly left
