I feel like I have been ripped off by this meme. A couple of months ago, The Knoxville Utility Board wouldn’t come sink a gas meter until the inspector comes to look at the gas plumbing. $100 please!
I told them there is no gas plumbing because the heater sits right beside the meter…its a 1 foot length of tube. They could only repeat “we have to inspect the plumbing”…
I told him that this is why people are voting for Trump. Sour Grapes? Probably.
HL, were your plumbing situation not so minimally designed, you could expect multiple visits from inspectors, each one demanding $100, at multiple stages of the job. Each inspector would note one different detail to change, which wasn’t mentioned by a previous inspector at all, requiring another plumber fix and another inspection, which would demand another change.
At least that’s how it worked down here in Austin, Texas, when I was flipping houses. The neat part was, when I asked for a list of all required changes to my plan in advance, the inspectors suddenly became illiterate and could not come up with any, until the work had started. And it was a different inspector each time, giving them an excuse as to why they needed different changes visit after visit.
Gotta get as many inspectors paid as possible, for every single job.
On my next job, I used day labor from Guatemala and they not only did a better job than the professional plumbers, they got the permits quicker and the inspections completed in one go, by pretending NOT to speak English.
The little Biebs fag is Canuck, so I guess The D’s “kill off the SJW’s and CW’s” reach goes full-continent; he’s already got the Mexbro scared shitless.

Yeah, I like it too. There’s a strong element of truth to it.
