Inpsectors hear a lot of things each day, but it is amazing how many are repetitive. Here is my list of most frequent responses when I question something about the project:

10. I have been doing this for ________ years and never been called on that.

9. Plans? What Plans?

8. They don't do it that way in (city) or (state)

7. Mind hurrying up? I gotta another job to get to...

6. Yeah, about that on them plans.. see, we don't use them here

5. Can't I just take a picture and you just look at it at final?

4. The other inspector doesn't make me do that.

3. I was just talking with (first name of a municipality politician) and told him "you guys are all right".

2. Man, it's good to see you! You are a lot nicer/friendler/smarter than that last jerk they sent out here.




And the Number 1 answer that telegraphs to me that the work is not ready....................










1. You look good. Have you lost weight??
 
What's the point? some of those are valid statements at times. I met an Inspector Friday I forget his name cuz he went throught the job looked it over asked me 3 questions said great see you at the final.
 
11. When did that become code?

12. What year code are we using?

13. I left my code book in the other truck (he only has one truck).

14. When are they going to put pictures in the code book?

15. How about you let me slide on that this time, next time I will get it right?

16. You mean AC cable is not the same as MC, they look the same.

When all does not go as they planned...
 
Hey, we get equal time don't we?

Hey, we get equal time don't we?

Fair enough,now lets turn the tables.

10. Could you have a job farther from civilization?

9. I don't know how you work in this heat/cold.

8. Do you know who won the NASCAR race yesterday.

7. Does this outfit make me look fat?

6. Hey,do you guys have any hats?

5. If a POCO guy comes in here,tell them I am gone.

4. How do you spell GEC?

3. Could we hurry this along,happy hour starts in 15 min.

2. *&^$% These were my good shoes!!


and finally...........












1. Are those donuts for anybody?


By the way Moondog,I have probably said half of yours and then some!!
 
17. who called for inspection, its not ready
18. the inspector wants it that way
19. dude can you stop back in an hour
20. you tell me what you want, your the boss
21. can I walk with you just in case something is wrong
22. I had no choice I had to backfill the trench.
 
The only questions I have for the inspectors are:

1. code section
2. why doesn't section _____ apply?
3. Do you have any suggestions as to the best way to correct the problem?

Usually we will have a discussion about it and come to a mutual agreement one way or the other.

Some inspectors have some really great ideas at times.
And some are just plain axx hxxxx.:):)
