This Inspector QUESTIONS EVERYTHING! #wow

What happens here

The building inspector, Pat, arrives on site to review the previous work, specifically the pool demolition. The project manager shows the inspector video footage of the demolition process, including the removal of sidewalls and footings, and walks him through the site to verify compliance with permit requirements. The conversation highlights the value of thorough documentation for inspection purposes.

Goal: Obtain approval from the building inspector for completed demolition work.

Tools and materials

  • Camera/Smartphone GoPro — Recording demolition process for inspection documentation
  • Permit Documentation N/A — Proof of authorization for the work
