| There are 65 inspections requested for today, Friday, May 09, 2008, plus 3 left over from yesterday. This is a light workload, especially for a Friday, and is probably a reflection of the thunderstorms moving through the area last night and this morning. LD Kemp, Wayne Metheny, Laura Kirkpatrick, and Scott Shuler are not in today. We should complete all requested inspections today. Have a good weekend.
The 2006 Uniform Statewide Building Code, USBC, has been posted to the Virginia Building Officials and Code Administrators (VBCOA) web page. You can follow the download instructions for copying these files to your computer. Please note that the USBC is in large part an administrative document that adopts and references the International Codes and the National Electrical Code. This new edition of the USBC is due to take effect on May 1, 2008. Thanks to the staff at DHCD for providing this information. Go to http://www.vbcoa.org.
PLUMBERS PLEASE NOTE: Section P3002.2.1 of the IRC has been amended by the new USBC to require tracer wire for sewer lines discharging to public systems.
This piece of rebar must be spliced to the other rebar in the footing using normal steel tiewires. The rebar must be connected to the electrical service panel by a Minimum No. 4 Copper attached with an approved ground clamp. The inspection for this must be done at the time of the footing inspection. A sample display of this arrangement can be seen in the James City County Code Compliance Lobby. We anticipate going to new editions of the codes in March or April. | Contact: Joe Basilone |
