Joe M,
Absolutely!!!! HEE HEE back!
While sitting in HI class I heard the Code Officials slammed on a daily basis!
After catching the instructor in several easy traps he stopped or at least thought about his wording. One picture illustrated a piling notched to receive a girder supporting a second floor. The girder was overhanging the notch at the most a 1/2". It was a 3 leaf girder.
And I quote "Can you believe the local building inspector approved this?" I only asked how he knew that the inspector in fact did approve it. Reluctantly he said he didn't know that it was in fact approved!
I also asked him if how he knew whether the slight overhang was a structural issue since the bearing requirement is based on the load. Did he know the load and the corresponding requirement? No answer was forthcoming!
This is why I was always in the corner with a dunce cap on!

Joe,
I can take the razzing and you will find that I can dish it out!!!
Meetings are the last Wednesday of the month typically. Next month we have a joint meeting with another chapter on Feb 11th.
Looking forward to the organization and good natured mental gymnastics!
I hope to meet you soon! Where do you attend NACHI meetings. We are not that far apart geographically?
I still am curious though about this thread. Here in Jersey the DCA is being questioned if not investigated about many issues including the website issue in this thread and how inspectors manage to do a good job when they are listed as inspectors in 6-8 municipalities. DCA has not been able to control this problem.
Thanks,
Phil
PS- Do you think I'm a real person because I joined? For $289 I could still be having a lot of cheap fun!

Phil,
Maybe you are just having some cheap fun, who knows! From your recent posts I believe we are all playing on the same field here.
It would be nice to meet you, however the meetings that I attended were in NY. I have not attended in a while because of personal commitments but I could certainly make the one next month, if you are up for it.
