Re: Why I Don't Do Service for Other Companies

Even if he has to pay the fine (which is stupid, in light of the fact the
plans were approved) it's still gonna be cheaper than postwiring and attic
crawling. That is unless they made him pull the wire out...which would be
triple stupid.

And it most cases; it's easier to obtain forgiveness, than approval.
