    All areas are going to have slightly different codes and even different opinions between the inspectors. There is very little if any consistency, the almighty "CODE" and inspection thing really doesn't mean much in a lot of areas. As long as they get their permit fee, that is all that matters. Some areas are stict, but a lot less than you would think. They will worry more about a crooked grill than no drain line run.
    I like DIY'ers. They pay better to fix.

    the ones i have ran into hate cutting and threading pipe. They want everything prefabricated. I saw one throw a total temper tantrum because he had to get the pipe threader off his truck. Electricians got threw first..about 5ft of conduit runs in HIS way.

    Call your local building inspectors office and pose the question to them.
