I've built 2 homes and 6 new schools in Davidson. It helps to know WHERE to get the tenderloin biscuits from to have on the job site if you're expecting an early morning inspection

Could you just get @braxton357 to overthrow the government? Seems simpler.

Quoting this so you can't delete before fbi sees it.

Thank goodness I edited it before you quoted it and you can't change text in quotes!

Is your nickname at the inspection department Tenderloin Biscuits Baker? And do you always offer them your "tenderloin biscuits" for early morning inspection? Or only when you ride your Harley and wear those assless chaps?

It's not a Harley

It's a very tasteful Yamaha that makes 2x the HP of a Harley and DOESN'T suck



And the Chaps were only for James Palmer....once he retired I went back to spandex

You CAN fight it with code in hand.....but as you've likely heard from the former inspector......Davidson county currently has 2 residential inspectors, and they're busy as hell. Not only that....the DaCo inspection office doesn't have time nor the patience to dick with anything outside of the norm (liability)

Neil tried 2 different times to get a simple fully enclosed boat storage shed built down at High Rock with rough cut from the property that had been stacked and dried because of the shortage....they wanted nothing to do with issuing a permit for it. They told him


or GTFO

How does this not open their office to lawsuit? But yet how do they not get sued on a regular basis.

For what?

Doing their Job?

They're simply enforcing the code. Same as a Hiway patrolman enforcing the law.

Chances are you broke at least a dozen laws of the road on the way to work today. Whether inadvertently or blatantly. Yet you'll likely only be pulled for the MOST offensive charge IF you get pulled.

Same with passing an inspection. Chances are, you're likely failing to meet code on a dozen or more items during an inspection. The key is; How hard will that inspector look? And if they challenge you, JUST like the trooper....it's a game of "how well do you know the code" as to whether you can beat them at their own game. Only difference being... many times what meets code is up to the discretion of the inspector. Not so with the trooper...the law is the law. But the code is....well...up for interpretation sometimes. And guess who interprets that code

So if I understand, an engineer could negate the need for the timber to come from the property? Who and what type of Inspection is done on a very unconventional style of building like cordwood building or shipping container homes?

nailed it basically if an engineer signs off on it or you can provide a letter to the inspection department they cant/wont argue it. it takes all liability off the county and inspectors.

Actively accepting bribes and being the expectation.

indiscriminate and inconsistent application of the laws (rules?)

Personal feelings clouding the application of the laws (rules?)

Edit to add

Imagine the police department did that in your example.

pretty much. But you should use that engineer/architect option for things that are uncommon or are not covered under typical codes, like timber framed homes or shipping container homes or whatever your creative mind can develop. Trying to use that option to argue exterior sheathing is acceptable with 25% of the required nails isn’t going to work out so well.

Did you bother to ask for her definition of warden?

Imagine?

I can't tell if you're being @jeepinmatt worthy sarcastic...or if you truly don't believe that's the case in most departments. I mean even in my example of the trooper...the trooper typically uses their discretion as to WHICH laws they will make apply... usually depending on your attitude

I was referring to accepting bribes.

I believe it was along the lines of the ass hole who says no to anything fun she wants to do or anything that brings joy to her life
