This Inspector QUESTIONS EVERYTHING!

[@michaelfarris2556]

Hey, you given that scrap to the other guys really helps you both out. They get paid, and you don't have to mess with it. Really good thing to do by helping the small businesses out.

[@billneff9416]

Fully agree. I have a small family construction company and we give away everything we can; old fences, decks, siding, metal, etc. I'm past being surprised of what people will take and be very happy to get. It takes a little more time than just tossing in a dumpster, but as you said, everyone one wins - including the homeowner that didn't have to pay for the dumpster. If you have something to get rid off; old tools, furniture, appliances, building materials, etc. even if it's broken, try posting it on Craigslist or FBMP and likely someone will come get it and thank you for it.

[@jamieperkins8796]

Your video taping him doing this job.... of course he's going to want to be thorough

[@HungNguyen91622]

Right.

I’ve had inspectors/city workers harass us on jobs and I found the best thing is to directly ask them if they’re going to do anything then give us a ticket now or please leave. Unless they’re trying to give us advice,of course. It’s always important to listen and respect people.

[@danbuckley6584]

i dealt with a bunch in st louis city for a couple years and you could tell them whatever bullshit sounded good and they were happy and would go away

I would like to see Ryan from Outdoor Victory to come spend a day or two with you like you did with him. That would be so cool to see. Keep up the great work brother!

[@Derf1313]

Definitely like inspectors that do their job & don't try to "interpret" the ordinance. They are there to protect the homeowner & the municipality (tax base, resale, etc...). I've had them on both sides the fence, one approved my footings, with one foot still in the car & I know he couldn't see in the hole... & others, because a neighbor was a buddy, try to find all sorts of made up reasons that my client couldn't build his house... Had one I had work with for decades that would issue me a permit from a napkin & do his final over the phone (now mind ya he would sometimes just stop to BS if he had time to kill) that I harassed about never seeing him on most of the jobs... He told me that I built like my Dad, or better, & knew he didn't need to worry about what the client was getting. But others in his area he would stop after hours daily to make sure of their work... Sure wish more were willing to do their job as well! (rip, Russ!). Just can't believe what the permit costs have gotten to these days... Thanx for the chuckles!!!

A thorough inspector is a great inspector that is doing their job. There is a reason why inspections were started in the first place.

I am not a contractor, just a homeowner in Apple Valley. Pat has been out and several of my inspection while remodeling my entire house and has been very informative and thorough for me as well which I found very useful given I was the homeowner not a contractor.

[@creamysbrianna]

Thank you for sharing. What you saw is what inspectors should be doing even when not filmed. Glad you're open to inspectors looking at your work and your contractors work. I tell folks that inspectors are not your enemy whether your a homeowner or contractor. They want you to be successful but also want the job done right. Willingness to learn from mistakes is the difference between a good contractor and a bad one. One willing to ask questions of the inspector on findings that might not be clear is anther good quality in a contractor.

[@Absaalookemensch]

I retired as a nurse in healthcare for 40 years. We have The Joint Commission (TJC) inspections every few years. In the Air Force we also had Healthcare Services Inspections (HSI) at the same time, but the Air Force has done away with HSI inspections. TJC is a pathetic joke, they're so easy, while HSI was grueling. Because TJC is nearly impossible to fail, quality has significantly suffered. TJC costs about $30k a year for a small facility with additional $40k for the inspection. It's like pay to pass. I welcome through inspections. They keep you on your toes and make you better professionals.

[@littlehuey5679]

I watched that video and your right to think that way ! I was lucky all the inspectors I dealt with when I had my construction company were relatives they were hard on me never let me slack or cheat , but when an inspection was hard to set up they usually trusted me and signed of !

[@dylangirgen7191]

I live in mn. I work at a business facility nearby and ill be an extra eyes and ears for your winter ops. I’m not comfortable sharing where I work. If it is the same as last years company’s lot I’ll check on your equipment from various times 0600-0300 depending on the schedule. I love your channel. I’m here to stay. Please try your best to post more chronologically for people that follow you season to season! Much smaller channels keep it day to day posts and I love your content and hate to see posts out of season.

I and a friend worked finish carpentry on new home construction for short while. You can go broke doing that. But I once saw a plumbing inspector pull up outside. The plumber went out and basically told him all was okay. He signed off and never got out of the car.

I like inspectors that pass/signoff even if 1 thing isnt done or something is almost done because they see the rest of the work is beautifully done.. Noone likes a fail

[@dewaynegibson8422]

Another awesome video on the books 👍🏽

[@creamysbrianna]

@Stanley "Dirt Monkey" Genadek and other contractors. So glad this inspector did their due diligence and was through with his inspection. Remember that inspectors are not your enemy, most should be more than glad to clarify any findings they have. I say this because they don't want to be called out for a re-inspection to only reject you for the same issue. Ask questions they don't want their time wasted anymore than you want yours wasted. They're there to ensure the job was done correctly. I'd rather have a contractor like Stan who welcomes inspectors and is willing to learn and correct. Than have a contractor who's apprehensive about having inspectors look at their work.

[@Dirtmonkey]

Well said. 🤛👍😃

[@creamysbrianna]

@@Dirtmonkey Another suggestion is when contractors know they're going to have a challenging job that might run into gray areas with code. Schedule a meeting with the inspector, yourself, and engineers you may be using. Run your plan by them ahead of time and see if they agree with your approach. Thus way everyone can come up with alternatives that'll be successful before on the job.

[@rirebel6029]

I was really curious as to what happened with that job that the inspector came back after you years later . I thought maybe they were setting you up for something bigger and trying to prove neglect on multiple jobs 🤔 good thing you video and do things by the book so they don't have a leg to stand on !!!

[@CZAnthonyX]

I dont always see it as a bad thing to question everything, Do they take a hit if they sign there name to something and something were to be wrong in the future? I hope you are doing well so far! I am doing great! Keep up the great work!

[@markgriz]

Yeah, I don't get the narrative. Stan seems like a by the book stickler with doing things the right way with his jobs. I guess controversy gets the KZbin algorithm all excited

[@spin-rg9ib]

well the apartment building that collapsed in what was it florida surfside building. awhile back because of structural damages. The first place the investigators looked at to figure out why the building collapsed was the inspections of the building. if inspector passes something that they shouldnt could be liable for it.

[@robertvannicolo4435]

Stan no need to worry about inspections if everything is done properly 👍on the excellent job

[@nebraskaninkansas347]

Yes an inspector like that is in fact a great asset to the city, homeowners, and contractors. Keeps contractors honest to ensure no short cuts are done, which also protects the homeowners as someone is ensuring the work is done to code, and the city as they ensure properly done structures are done. So a well knowledgeable and thorough inspector is a great asset

That happened with my garage. It's framed differently, more like a post and beam barn. When I went for my electrical inspection the building inspector (a new one) put a halt on everything. Garage is already standing. It wasn't until I actually got him on the property to see it that he finally signed off on it. It REALLY pissed me off.

I wish the inspectors here would do the same lol, that is the time of person I like, competent and thourough

I have a friend who builds pools. Business has been booming since the pandemic. Everyone wants pools and the prices have gone up 50%. Normally 100k, now 150k.

[@____________________________.x]

In any industry, if something wasn’t inspected then it didn’t matter in the first place. Silt fabric in summer for a hole? It’s wasting everyone’s time because if it’s not done and it does wash out then the neighbour can complain, so it’s self inspecting

[@Dirtmonkey]

I thought the same thing

[@matthewrogers94mr]

honestly if they inspector fails to stop then you should be reimbursed the $500 you spent for the permit because they did not want to stop and therefore should not be paid for not doing their job

lol never delt with the city have ya :-p

For most municipalities the "permit" has just become another revenue source for them. The inspectors don't care.
