Re: State licensing questions

["ranger" <a@xxxxx>]

Western PA experience - Our new building was having an inspection prior to
insulating, and I had the inspector look at my attic heat install, since I
had coverage questions.  He asked me if the 2 x 4 ladders I had built in the
trusses were to change the batteries in the detectors.... Wonder if he will
want to see my battery calcs?
