Like I thought based on county inspector’s face last friday, he failed the inspection for our range hood exhaust. The issue is that because the hood is 600cfm, he wants an additional air intake line drawn in from outside to compensate for the air draw via the hood! His contention is that in case of an emergency that could be dangerous (though 600cfm is hardly, cough, umm, dangerous considering we have so many windows now). That said, I appreciate the county inspectors being tough and thorough coz it keeps our contractor on his toes. Failing an inspection hurts him more than anyone else coz he has to get this right without which permits won’t arrive, and I wont pay him until its certified by county! Sometimes, the government does work for us.
