The Mills of Gov Grind Exceeding Slow 5
Five years ago, I replaced a water heater.
Yesterday, I got a certificate of land use from New Castle County, Delaware, informing me that that was an okay thing to do.

I guess I’ll take back the snide comments about the speed of inspectors around here. They only took a week.
October 1, 2009 at 3:03 pm
There wasn’t even an inspection. It was just paperwork saying that was an acceptable use.
The paperwork was probably submitted via the Large Retailer Who Used To Mail Out Catalogs who supplied and installed the heater.
Now, when I got a new furnace, that got inspected. The plumber took care of that.
October 1, 2009 at 3:14 pm
Yeah, a furnace I could see being subject to inspection. But a water heater?
Better late then never, I suppose.
October 1, 2009 at 5:42 pm
Yeah. I toyed with the thought of what if they told me I couldn’t have one and had to remove it.

Oh, you would go there. I can see the discussion now.
