Passed Electrical Rough-in

[ddawg16]

This garage related because I use my garage to help build the 2-story addition to my house......

On Monday (yesterday) I scheduled my electrical rough-in inspection for today....but yesterday afternoon I get the "We need you now" phone call....so by the time I got home...I didn't have time to finish the 2-3 items I had to do before rough-in....

So this morning I cancelled....

I guess my inspector didn't get the memo.....my wife calls me at noon to say he is there...oh well...let him look...I know he will write it up...and I'll just reschedule....

He passed it. Mentioned a few things...need a staple here and there....asked about missing lights...she told him there were going to be in a soffett....he said "no problem"....etc.

My wife commented that she wishes she had a nickle for every time he said "He does clean work"....

Anyway....he signed off....

I've known this inspector for about 5 years now....he knows that if he tells me to correct something....I'll do it....he doesn't let me slide on things that are wrong...but is very easy on the simple things.

I do take pics of the corrections so if there is any question, I can show the pics.

I'm stoked....I'm getting closer.....

Congrats on the passed inspection. Most of the time the inspector will appreciate the neatness of your work. It shows that you care about what you are doing. It also shows that you know what you're doing. If an inspector sees neat workmanship versus a sloppy install he will usually be a little easier on you for the smaller mistakes. If you have had dealings with the inspector in the past and he knows that you do quality work, he will trust that you will continue to work at the same quality level. However, if he finds something extremely wrong, he may nitpick the entire job. Keep up the quality work and all future inspections will yield the same results.

^^^^ +1 to what jimmy said. But, if jimmy knew ddwag, he'd know the work is top notch.
