I have an interesting COC ... you can see the inspector has been to site and has offered to return to fix a few item not completed before the sale.

I walked around the site to see if it warrants a service sheet ... at first I didnt think so ... but as we dig deeper I am starting to wonder about the lights.

The ceiling is high ... and I hear the inspector will be back to replace one or 2 ... I noticed a couple old brass holder fittings and no earth wire ... then I noticed round boxes outside for the security lights ... all the end boxes facing up and I could bet my scrap box that the glands are not the flat type which will result in a bad IP rating ... then I ask myself ... are the round boxes UV rated for outdoors and are the boxes filled with a compound to improve the IP rating.

I didnt have ladder with me so I havent opened the trap door yet.

So now I ask myself ... who is going to pay for my time to start scratching.

We have another the customer who is complaining about what seems to be a few code violations ... my response to the customer was to get his electrician to open a service sheet and log the time and at the same time create a list of the violations with reference to the code.

It seems it is too easy for people to just complain about COC's without actually understanding how it works and what is covered ... I hear a lot of complaint about light fittings not working ... the wiring to the fitting is correct ... a bulb or 2 might be blown ... this is where public awareness is lacking.
