We signed the papers yesterday!
Mine actually wrote the number of circuits on his inspection sticker...
The former city inspector and I had some serious differences of opinion on a few subjects before I built my shop.
Several years earlier I had a small.electrical fire in a house I had just moved into...the first night!
I hired an electrician to replace the 60 amp service(and four sub panels) with 200 amp service. But I wanted underground service (dead of winter... 4 feet of frost) from the power pole but he did not want the new temp. service attached to my home until spring.
We got that worked out.
Then he inspected the new service in the spring and my real estate assessment went up by $20,000! Found out he was also the assessor!
After two special hearings we called a truce and we got along ok.
Then I bought a 5,000 sq. ft. existing pole shed to move 40 miles to my place...in town. After one more hearing they allowed to build 1500 sq. ft. I sold the balance of the shed to a farmer and made $$$.
So the inspector wanted structural drawings from a certified engineer i got a local pole builder to draw ip my plans and ball park snow loads and such. I live on the north side of US Hwy 10. Snow loads south of Hwy 10 must be 40# sq. ft North of Hwy 10 they must be 80# sq. ft..as I recall. My building was south of Hwy 10 when originally built.
We worked it out. He got his drawings...I got my building almost free and we all are happy!
