> My reply. Months to get permit approval? The process is simple.
> 1) You apply for a permit.
> 2) The permit office tells you what you need for documentation.
> 3) You provide the documentation and pay the fee and get your permit.
> 4) You install your system.
> 5) You modify your wiring diagram based on the final design - called
> "as-built" drawings.
> 6) The inspector approves your system.
> Done.

> Our customer's response. In our town it goes like this:
> 1) Submit permit application.
> 2) They take weeks/months to get around to looking at it.
> 3) They approve it - if the inspector is having a good day.
> 4) You do it.
> 5) They inspect it and "find" something to change which wasn't in the
> information they requested OR:
> 5a) They send someone to inspect it,  but he is "only filling in" and
> can't sign off on it.
> 6) You change it.
> 7) They come back, "find" something else they didn't bother to tell you
> the first time.
> 8) You pull your hair out.
> 9) Repeat step 6.
> 10) There IS no step 10 - you are stuck in an endless loop!!
