Josh, let one of the corp stores have an electrical fire. The inspector comes in, looks at my paperwork and says you can't open until this paper work says cleaned to code. That's how you get them to open up the pocket book.
It looks like now because of this fire I may get to put access in any store that it is needed. Funny thing is I'm thinking this is a can of worms I am going to wish stayed closed.
In this particular store it took me 2 hours just to access a spot to put an access, 15 minutes to cut the hole in the dry wall, another 15 to cut a hole in the grease duct, 1/2 an hour to clean the duct and and 1 1/2 hrs to reattach the AC ducts and put the ceiling grid and lights back in place, I have to do it all again once I get the access door for the dry wall, as it is now I just have the pieces I cut out taped back into place. (inspector approved this as a temp fix until proper door is ordered for the drywall) Couldn't find anything on the weekend
This store has two other ducts with the same problem. If I have to go through the above process with the other two ducts, which I will, this 2 1/2 to 3 hr job just became a two nighter. Funny thing is the inspector never asked about the other two ducts, and he looked right at them.
How many more like this???????????? Let's not think about that now
