I do not know why contractors fail to call and check things out ahead
of time with the AHJ and always think they can getaway with something
or deal with it later attitude.
I get flack from other alarm dealers all the time because i design a
system and it gets passed 1st time and AHJ will not let other company
do it and they get all mad because they failed to read and understand
the code and they end up redoing it 2-3 times before they get it
right.
Then again some company's should just not be in business period.
