Yer a good man Charlie Brown.

Buddy of mine bought a $40k grease trap because Los Angeles. Me? $12k fire alarm system.

Two days ago the inspector asked to see the photos I'd taken with my phone because he wanted to see the screw pattern on the drywall.

MEDICAL GRADE CONDUIT BITCH

But sure. 4 friends are going to bootstrap their way to business titanhood with $40k.

That was for the article, not you. As you were. ButterflyEffect and I oughtta come visit in January.

In my build out the inspectors were a breeze. The few issues they had with the shop were pretty reasonable or at least minimally expensive. They mostly walked around and marveled at the shit the permit office made me build (wow, they sure did make you build a crazy garbage area! Wonder why?)

The shop would have been much nicer if I had another ten grand to out in the build out but the permitting office fucking soaked me.
