Sounds like he's waiting for you to open your wallet.

After his phone call its more like kick his *** at this point. I'm the most level headed person but I lost it.

Finish it as in what? Fixtures?

A toilet is $200 and a utility sink is $100. Just buy and install them for the inspection. No walls required.

You either uninstall them for storage or you have a ******* in your shop. Neither are terrible

Umm, you forgot the $20,000 drain field.

And once you finish it how bad do they gouge you in taxes?

I suspect he's playing a game with you to get this bumped into a different bracket....

The inspector doesn't care about taxes

That's funny.

That's funny.

And true.

They can barely do their own job right, let alone that of the assessor's

My initial quote was 14k for rough in, running water to the building (300ft) and a sewage pump since it's a few feet below my current septic. Plus the toilet and sink and maybe shower and water heater.

You realize that by inspecting a bathroom and then filing the inspection, the assessor then just pulls it up and increases the valuation, right?

And some places require permits for the most mundane fixture swaps? Just a money grab...

You can share septic with two buildings? Often code requires a second septic field.

I know it is B.S., but it is code in many places

Really maybe that is an Oklahoma thing because I had two plumbers say that was the solution.

Here the soil scientist who did my septic design said I could tie my house in (when I build it in the future) to the drain field I am installing now for garage, as long as it is size for the total # of bedrooms. The garage counts as 1 bedroom. He said I may have to have a separate tank.

Interesting, I know Iowa and Nebraska are similar but from everything I have heard Oklahoma doesn't have septic inspections. Aerobic septic systems are also very popular here but my current is about 200 ft of drain field.

This is in South Central Va, My house in South Eastern Va was a lot more restrictive but also drained directly into the Chesapeake Bay.
