3) 90% of subcontracts out there see the homeowner that pulls his own permit as a easy buck because yall dont know the diffrence , not saying all subs but a good bunch of em are just waiting to cut corners n make a quick buck on someone who dosent know any better. This^^^^^^ is what you have to watch out for!!
I saw framing so bad that the inspectors failed EVERYTHING. after 2 years in court the contractor went belly up and the owner had to sue the contractors insurance company (another year ) and finally got enough $$$ to get it torn down to the slab and reframed. If you know enought to be able to tell the difference in good and bad work in all trades and have the time and patience.
you can act as the contractor. DO NOT count on the inspectors as a decision maker on good work. When i was doing electrical work, i had so many finals given over the phone or computer it would make your head spin.
