This garage gets even stranger. The guy building it didn’t get a permit. The fence neighbor reported him to the city with pictures. The permit was purchased after the building was erected. The inspector finally came out and passed the construction with the caveat that he add more concrete fasteners for the walls. Absolutely absurd, and the best part of all is the guy building the garage is a home inspector!!!
Well that goes to show you the worth of home inspectors and a lot City building inspectors. I deal with building inspectors from the city all the time and some of those guys are totally clueless. There are a few good guys that really know what they're doing though, not all bad

Google is his friend!
Apparently building inspectors don’t actually have to know “ how to build”!!

Haha. I called that when you first posted in the other thread. Inspections like make it hard for the quality contractors to compete.
