Thinks s/he gets paid by the post
I did have an exceptionally high point Friday when the building inspector finally contacted me after several phone tags.
When you are down and out, nothing brings you up like a conversation with somebody who is really easy to work with.
He had a few red lines on the review and we talked through all of them and then some
We sorted out the energy worksheet and he wanted far less details than are called out per the instructions.
He does not want my HVAC ducting drawn out, or the plumbing.
Everything about this phone conversation was easy going and productive.
In our state, the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) can allow plumbing 4" and greater to be run at 1/8" per foot, or he can deny that and require everything at 1/4", for example.
When I asked about that, he paused and started looking on his computer for the codes. I work for a commercial plumbing contractor and know this situation well. I was not going to assume anything and he said " if it is possible I will allow it".
The 1/8" slope will come in handy to keep the plumbing in the basement joist space, and also in the groundwork to keep the pump elevation as high as possible.
I really needed this and to know that once the building starts it will be fun and not confrontational, I can slog through getting the civil engineering done on the Public Works issues.
