Is this Building Inspector For Real?
What happens here
The building inspector arrives, and the builder engages in a discussion regarding the permit and the exposed test hole. The builder presents the City Hall permit, highlighting that only a 'BLDG FINAL' inspection was listed and that no specific geogrid or footing inspections were required. He then shows the inspector the archived construction footage on his phone, detailing the proper installation of the geogrid and drainage aggregate. Finally, he points to the physical test hole, where the geogrid and drainage aggregate are visible, emphasizing that further excavation would compromise the wall's integrity. The inspector reviews the evidence, acknowledges the proper installation, and ultimately passes the inspection, concluding the issue.
Goal: Achieve a successful final building inspection and closure on the retaining wall project.
