I called for final inspection on my new install and failed because of two accent lights that were 36" away from closest corner of stove might get too hot. The inspector said there was a possibility that the wiring could catch fire from the combination of heat from the stove and heat from the 20watt light bulbs. These lights are all metal and the wiring is in a metal junction box but are only rated for 90 degrees as are all lighting fixtures in the house. I asked him about the months of 120 degree weather we get here in the desert. How does the wiring in the attic stand the "intense" heat. He had no answer.
The previous inspector that inspected the stove and pipe install said it would be fine but I needed to install 4 CO alarms thru out the house as per (NEW) California laws. (California sucks so bad with all their bogus regulations)
This inspector today said I only needed one alarm. Arrrrgh! Idiots!
So I took out the lights and now I need to repair the holes in the drywall. I need to complete various trim and tile anyway but still.
I thought the accent lights looked kinda cool but now I'm outta luck. It cost me $200 for the pleasure of inviting these idiots into my house.
Did I mention California sucks?
Just wanted to vent, thanks
