<div style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">There were multiple failed rough inspections, but I think there were so many violations that the inspector didn't even make it up into the attic. This happens to be right at the top of the ladder access to the attic! You can't miss it! Ultimately this never passed final inspections (except structural because the contractor perjured himself on an inspection affidavit). The whole system is going to have to be removed, roof repaired, and system reinstalled properly.</div>

<div style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">Subsequent to his shoddy work, another electrical contractor came in and installed a whole home generator with transfer switch, unwittingly moving the PV AC fusible disconnect from the line side of the existing to the load side of the new service disconnect. No matter... the fusible disconnect was wired wrong and was missing a grounding bushing. No surprise there. It all needs redoing.</div>

<div style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">Does anyone have any thoughts on turning in a fellow licensed contractor for egregious violations of code and workmanship practices? I ran across one this weekend that should definitely not own a ladder or even a screwdriver. I'm compelled to turn him into the state, but I don't really want to be "that guy." I'm encouraging the homeowner to do something about it, but the process is rather difficult.</div>
