proposal: require fire sprinklers

[DickWilson]

The whole problem her is the inspectors and the county want to push the liability onto the contractors, not themselves. Both plumbing and electrical can be safely done by any reasonably competent home owner. In most state the inspectors will work with a home owner to make sure the job is done right. My approach in my own home is " Its always better to ask forgiveness, than ask permission." I inquired about the cost of having an on demand water heater installed. A simple 2 hour job I could teach a monkey to do, and was quoted over 1500. Needless to say I said not no but hell no. As for fire sprinklers, those I brought from the mainland required only 40 psi to provide full coverage.
