The Town of Hull requires a full rewire permit fee for any home where you'll be wiring more than 50% or the home. I was going to ask him how he determines percentage and I'm expecting a disagreement.
What do you guys think? Based on square footage? Number of circuits, devices, etc?
The house is a colonial with a second floor where the pitched part of the roof makes up the most of the ceiling in the two rooms. They ripped off the second floor and made it a full size floor. I'm rewiring that and half of the first floor including the kitchen and a bathroom. Finished basement stays the same.
I feel like I'm right around that 50% and it's the difference between $110 and $235 for the permit.
