I believe in building permits, only as long as the inspector isnt a *ickhead and has common sense. And the homeowner or builder has knowledge of what they are doing and they are not a screwup. I will give examples of what has happened in my life experience(s). I built an upstairs addition on my old house, it went well. I hired a gen. cont. to rough in the upstairs addition and he got paid and walked away, I put in all finish work, drywall, paint, light fixures, flooring. (all permits were pulled and followed) I also built my own home in 1999. I was the gen. cont. for the whole job--start to finish. The building inspector was (and still is) a bit of a moron. Here is why.---6 months before I bought my land my neighbor in front of me built his house on 2.5 acres. (both our lots are 2.5 acres) each is 165' wide by 660' deep. On the north side of my neighbors property is my driveway easement (full legal description is that the easement belongs to me for my use ONLY) Well while my neighbor built his house he put his driveway on my easement drive and he eventually had to put in his own driveway, the inspector penalized ME by making him put in his own driveway due to the fact that the inspector had no recourse cause a cert. of occupancy was issued. The building insp. was neglegent in catching this simple obvious fact. I was real nice about my neighbor using my driveway until he made his own drive. And now my neighbor still uses my drive but for a firewood side business that he has and stores the wood timbers in the back of his property. The legal description of the easement is that my driveway is for my use only and not my neighbors use. (I am nice about him using it) IF he ever blocks me in or out he would get an earful and the cops might show up. So in short building inspectors can miss a lot of important things during the building of a home or garage. I believe in pulling permits for building homes and large additions. But not for building decks, sheds, ANY interior remodeling, finishing basements, finishing garages or any repairs. Some building permits are just an excuse for the city/twshp to make money. I will never allow an inspector to just show up and come in cause he thinks I remodeled my kitchen. I would walk his silly a** back to his car and tell him to leave. I feel for you on the septic tank issue but you should have the tank relocated and repiped by a qualified and insured contractor. I would not do that myself.

Today's Featured Article - A Lifetime of Farm Machinery - by Joe Michaels. I am a mechanical engineer by profession, specializing in powerplant work. I worked as a machinist and engine erector, with time spent overseas. I have always had a love for machinery, and an appreciation for farming and farm machinery.
