Some times the monster never quits rearing it's ugly head.....
The city of Orono went beyond it's authority once again today and attempted to block the state electrical inspection of my wind turbine.
Imagine my surprise when the inspector called and told me the city would not let him inspect. I said they had no authority to do so as I do not need a building permit for my turbine and I had already applied and paid for my permit. He said he would check with the state and get back to me. When he did, he explained that I needed my electrical contractor to file for the permit instead of me as the homeowner. He said that is because I will beconsidered a commercial electric entity, therefor I need a commercial contractor according to the law. However, he did also state that the state would ignore the permit issue as being out of thier realm of responsibility.
Alas, no inspection today, but a few more hoops to jump through.......
