A couple of fellow DIY'ers, mostly old timers, have strongly cautioned me about consulting my plumbing inspector prior to beginning my work. I was planning on discussing my design with the inspector and seeing what he wanted to see.
The warning was that some inspectors simply don't want to see non-plumbers do plumbing, period. I was told that he could simply order me to have a plumber do it if I asked him questions before I started. According to our code, homeowners are allowed to "pull" the permit on plumbing for their own home in our area.
Has anyone had this experience of the inspector demanding a plumber?
