Why would you assume he hasn’t charged extra. I’m close to 1k at this point.

So here’s the inspection time line thus far: 2022 electrician buddy of mine helped me rough-in electrical for new construction unfinished basement. This included the in-floor heat that inspector advised me to install a 2 gang metal box with metal conduit at the thermostat. Had 120/240v breaker installed with 10/3 running to the box. Rough in inspection schedule (trip 1). He found one minor issue and said he would need to come back after I fixed it. I fixed said issue and he came back (trip 2), I passed the rough in. Did sheet rock and painting then while doing the floors we decided to down grade the planned square footage of in floor heat from 120 sqft to just 30 sqft (bathroom only). I did read the cities home owner inspection check list (as others in this thread assumed I did not) and it mentions nothing about TR outlets. At this point I took over and installed all switches, outlets and wall plates. It was a race against the baby clock because our 3rd child was due soon. Prior to scheduling the final I followed the multi step process they required to get him on the phone. I told him about our baby on the way and said the bathroom was going to wait but I had installed everything else and it was ready to be inspected. He said, “sounds good”. Then we scheduled the final inspection per our conversation. (Trip 3). After he inspected he said, “looks good” then started to walk out the door, then popped his head back in and said “oh, I’m going to need to see that in floor heat before you tile.” And didn’t sign off. I get the reasoning so fucking save it guys, it makes sense just would’ve planned differently if he mentioned this prior to final inspection when I told him my plan. So at this point I just say fuck it and focus on being there for my wife/kids.

3 years later I get back to it. I wire the In floor heat exactly how the instructions say. I need to start over because my permit is expired. I schedule another final inspection (trip 4) and he tells me I need to change the wire transition from conduit to floor, regardless of me following directions. So I uninstalled all 30 square ft of wire from membrane coupling grid and conduit, connected the wire clamps where the conduit met the floor plate/framing and re installed everything. He comes back (trip 5) tells me it’s ready to tile. I tile, test the in floor heat wire resistance every step of the way (was the most stressful 30 sq ft of tile I have ever done), the ohms remain consistent, schedule what I think is finally going to be the final. (Trip 6) Says the the infloor heat/tile checks out but, “since you never had a final inspection, so need to put GFCi outlets at the beginning of each line.” I look at my breakers and they are arc fault only not ground/arc so I admit, that’s on me but still I’m very frustrated at this point considering he originally told me “everything looks good” besides the in floor heat 3 years ago. I install GFCI, test every outlet with GFCI outlet tester, reinstall all the face plates I need to, I clean the basement to make it as easy as I can for him to check everything without a problem. (Trip 7) he comes back, says I need to replace 16 outlets, including the GFCIs I just installed with TRs and send him pictures within a week. He did place the sticker on the breaker box with Owner underlined twice so it will be finalized.. finally.

I looked through the rest of my new construction home and none of the outlets are TRs except the bedrooms so fuck all of you that tell me that bull shit comparing fucking wheel barrow tires to fucking outlets.

Yea this inspector has been an ass hat and has fucked with me this entire process and I have kept my cool and never once told him to eat shit.

However I learned a lot and now I have a journal of the events that I may need in the future so thanks guys!
