Garage heat

I don't disagree...but if you do ANYTHING in the city without the final sign off it will come back and bite you in the hiney if you ever try to sell the house. That's just the way it is.
I agree 100%. They will find something wrong no matter what, even if another inspector said it was ok. I did my own wiring on my little house on the river that I built. I didn't pass my final inspection the first time. The inspector found some little issues that he didn't like, which was ok by me because now I know he looked over my work closely and I know I can sleep at night not having to worry about my place burning down. My inspector was a nice guy and very helpful.
