The inspector on the job is not the final authority-but his boss is. Local Jurisdictions have the authority to upgrade the Code, as well as interpret the Code in the many grey areas. Hopefully they will write this stuff down in a local Code building manuel, which is what Sonoma county does.( my college class worked on that building manuel). Santa Rosa city says they interpret on a "case by case basis" an inconsistant ego-power play-time wasting idea.

Yeah, but it's also an avenue to introduce some common sense into the process, if your inspector has any. Don't knock it.

Very seldom have I seen individual inspectors add any common sense into the process, nothing against inspectors, but the good ones KNOW the code and what the local jurisdiction allows and the no so good ones write their own code on occasion.
