The pissin match thread

So, was there no electrical inspection in your house? Because a inspector obviously missed that.
Like anything there is good and bad, but the majority of inspectors will pass anything. They have no liability if something happens after. Most things in a house aren't rocket science, all it takes is someone wanting to do a good job and a bit of experience.

I've gotten foundation and weeping tile inspection before it was poured, framing before the roof is even close to finished, blocking missing EVERYWHERE, and it goes on and on. Behind schedule, forget to rebook it to find out it passed anyways......It's scary.

I've had to pull in a garage wall 5" because the roof was built on the ground and set on, but no one bothered to attach the roof to the walls after, no garage doors on meant the wind kept pushing out the wall. Was mm away from slipping off the walls and collapsing the entire garage and a lot of the house. Passed all inspections though

first you ask is he had one, and say he must have missed it, and then say they will pass almost anything??

10th year apprentice cyle. What the fawk's up with that. I know, those entrance exams are full a trick questions. How did your boss get past those pesky child labour laws. I mean 18 - 10 = 8, no?

PS. KUDO's to your boss for being an equal opportunity employer.
Was probably hard for him to obtain a CSA approved helmet for you.

Since when am I 18? It's another persons posts who knows nothing.......Which is VERY common in this thread.

I was being sarcastic, obviously it passed inspection, which means all inspectors aren't that strict (or just don't care) if it passed like that.

So your saying, in order to have the knowledge to know about it, you need a ticket?

ch!t. Better go tell most the guys doing framing, concrete, carpentry, insulators, etc ALL that they better go get their ticket because until then they don't know jack ch!t.

Experience is earned through work experience, do not need a ticket for everything. I have just under 10 years experience in construction and almost everything to do with home building.

How old are you? Last I heard was like 21, 10 yrs experience hey hmmmmm

Allrighty then, oh great master of ABC's, answer the fawking question. Why after 10 years are you still a laborer?

Why do you think i'm still a laborer? I'm a foreman. Not sure where you got that........Just assuming are we? Pretty common in this thread!

I have been in the stucco/drywall, New home consruction industry ever since I was 14. This is my 30th year, and still lovin what I do.

I can never know everything, and anyone who says they do..... Kick there ass outta your house, cause they don't know phuck all!!!

I look at the way that jobs(buildings) house's, apartment's, multi family, duplex's, and commercial have been recently built in the past 15 yrs. It makes me wonder, how we can still pay these price's for shabby workmanship. My dad who taught me a LOT of what I know today, would be spinning donuts in his grave, if I had ever left ch!t like that!

The building code book, is up to the interuptation of the person who possess's the book at that time. Meaning, If I wanted copper plumbing in your house and not pex, I can make that decesion. As long as it's still good according to the ULC. Or I want all acoustical sealent & no red tape @ insulation vapor barrior stage, and the next inspector can ask for the complete opposite, in the house next door.

I'm still not saying that I know everything, but when it come time for me to estimate a job, being a insulation(wall,attic,spray foam)/drywall/taping/texture/ give the customer what they want, or what a better solution to their question might be, being a supervisor/manager. also inviting them, to ask other's for their opinion & help.

I look at every aspect of the job. Framing, electrical, etc, etc etc.... I have spent lots of time with those other trades asking what I should look for, before one of my trades cover it up. If a job isn't ready..... it isn't ready. Don't cover up chit that you know is wrong. Ultimately... it's all of us(the consumer) that pays for it in the end.

This is my pissin match & just my opinion :d

Best post in this thread by far

It's funny because he's Asian.

Does it matter? Are you? Maybe I should twist your words back on you like you seem to do?

I'm not, and it means all of zero. Go looking up alberta building codes, get some experience with buildings and you'd see the issues with the house.

I'm very proud of how my big brother teachings turned out...thank you very much...

OK i'm confused. First you said that people shouldn't build their own homes, now you are saying that anyone with ambition and some know how can do it? Which one is it? Either you need to be a "professional" or you don't?

Yes the house had an electrical. The reason it passed because I pointed these things out to the builder and they corrected them before the inspection,so they didn't waste my time. The stub wall in the bathroom is the perfect example. Framers built the wall and fawked up on reading the plans, there was less than 12" between the shower wall and the stub wall at the end of the tub. Fawkin' framers didn't even clue in that it might be kinda hard to use the sink or the toilet when you have to jump over the stub wall in the middle of the night because the gap was too small. Doing a walk through that night we caught it and mentioned it to the builder the next day. As soon as we walked into the bathroom we knew something wasn't right - they didn't even clue in and they built the wall and probably had to squeeze through the gap after they stood it up and nailed it. I counted the outlets on the circuits and there was more than code allows - pretty easy stuff that got missed. So much for the theory that it takes a professional.

That's it ? After all that reading ? I was at least expecting a "Meet you at the bike rack at 3:30", or a "Long cock ya for 20 bucks", but nothin'.
