Do it yourselfers are hamstrung?

[Rob Tucker]

I think we are both right Pete. Fact is there are a LOT of jurisdictions in the country where an owner/builder can do everything. No license required. It is their property. The inspector is the final judge. If it is not done right it does not pass. If an inspector has to make too many trips they charge extra.

Structural work is no less dangerous than electrical. A building collapse can certainly kill.
