I frequent these boards every day, trying to passively learn from other's questions and/or mistakes. I enjoy reading about the different things that everyone has experienced, be it contracting, designing or inspecting. I hope to learn from other's mistakes (as I've made more than my share at this point!)

I design the power and lighting distribution for commercial buildings, currently concentrating on schools (K-12 and university) and offices and such.
As a contractor: what are the things that leave you cussing at the designer? What things seem so simple to you that that person behind the "cushy desk" just can't seem to grasp?
As an inspector: what are the most common things you fail an install for? Are some of these things avoidable if dealt with on drawings first?
As a permit official: what are your most common correction comments?
I have a lot to learn ... and I'd rather not learn it all through change orders!
Thanks!

... Or make a little pamphet of common screw ups you're sick of talking about... (There are plenty of examples of conductor sizing, etc. to cut and paste from...) Then you wait for the reinspection fee...
