Why I really dislike inspectors and townships....

We have one township, West Whiteland, that is completely ridiculous. On a bathroom remodel job they wanted smoke alarms installed thru out the house, which would've cost the customer thousands of dollars in labor. Loud complaining got that stopped.

On a basement remodel, they made the contractor install a sprinkler head under the cellar steps, which has nothing under it. The house has an existing sprinkler system.

We have to do the same here. If you have to do damage to connect them you are exempt but if they can be installed you will do it or get no inspection.

That is a code requirement when a remod exceeds a certian amount or exceeds a certin number of sq feet, and I would be supprised if they din't require it, and even issuing a permit can trigger that requirement
