    Hello guys.

    Just another update.

    To everyone's point that things are slowly changing withing the D.O.L.........

    After posting the update yesterday i had further "discussions" with the offending electrician yesterday.

    He outright came out and accused me of some kind of nefarious plot with someone at the D.O.L.

    He said that in his experience they never come out this quickly, and that "THEY" will do some digging to expose me and my contact.

    How laughable.

    A government agency actually comes out and do their duty for a change, and enforce the law............and now you cry victim.

    So now after he came out and rectified all the mistakes ( AIA still has to come inspect after the fact) my security alarm (the twinflex connections) and some camera's are not operational.

    Guess i will have to fix that myself.

    Greetings H!

    Just remember that your security alarm system and camera's are appliances which according to NOTE 3 on the test report, are not covered by the COC.

    Were they working before he did his repair work in the roof?

    Hi Dave

    It was working, but it was a bunch of illegal twin flex connections going to and from a multiplug.

    So his defense is he removes what is illegal, and if it's not plugs or lights, it then has nothing to do with him.

    Not very nice, but nothing much i can do about it besides just fix it myself.

    Regards

    H
