You aren't allowed to do your own plumbing projects in Massaholeachussets, now this! What a bunch of *****. Only thing worse than Masshole Nazis, well sorta: Read this about Mass... I guess you gotta dispose of stuff in cover of night after first crossing into either: NY, CT, VT, NH, or RI... Pick your dumping spot: "Oh Boy, I live in Mass and last week I was "grabbed" by our local plumbing inspector because I put a broken hot water heater out for trash pickup. He told me that it was illegal for me to buy and install my own plumbing fixtures. I told him that I just called my City Public Works Dept. and told them that I had an old broken hot water heater that I replaced and needed to buy the $20 red sticker so that the trash people would dispose of it for me. Why didn't that Dept. tell me that I could not do any work on my own home? He said that Mass. does not allow me to do any work on my own because I do not have a license. The store where I bought the heater did not tell me that, the Public Works did not tell me that. I now have had to call a local plumber and he told me that the inspector here will make him take out the heater that I put in and re-install the same heater all over again. This state is getting stupider by the minute. I am going to call my State Rep and tell him I want a copy of all the laws in Mass that affect me and my property. I am now afraid to cut my own front lawn, they will probably tell me that I have to glue all the clippings back and call a landscaper. STUPID, STUPID, STUPID. And I vote for these people. Happy New Year to the gang of dummies on Beacon Hill and City Hall." I can understand the logic behind it because I have seen first hand some scary things people have done themselves in their homes....... I think around here our codes can't prevent you from doing any work yourself because it is your home, as long as you have any required permits and it meets codes. We have rules that permit plans have to be done by a qualified designer, Architect, or professional engineer, unless it is to your primary residence which then the home owner can do their own designs (again as long as it meets code) There is one city here where they have separate Plumbing and HVAC inspectors where the rest of the cities have one Inspector to inspect all. That municipality has in their bylaw that all plumbing and HVAC work must be completed by a qualified tradesman, but I would think if challenged, they could possibly lose a battle over it if someone wanted to take the time and effort to fight it because it is your own home and if it meets code, why should it matter if the owner did it or a pro? The person in that storey was pretty dumb though, why would you throw away the old water heater? Take it to a scrap metal facility and get some money for it selling it for scrap.......

Boca BIlls Posted October 23, 2019 Posted October 23, 2019 You can't ban words... People are responsible for the things they say. Just video it and tweet it out.

LeGOATski Posted October 23, 2019 Posted October 23, 2019 That guy should be removed from office immediately. He's clearly wasting everyone's time and money. 1

Or cross into NYS under the cover of night and throw it on @Gugny 's well manicured lawn. Much more fun! The guy I quoted probably just moved to MassaNaziachussets and didn't know the laws. I give him a pass. Unlike my sister who was getting free cable tv and called the cable company when the cable went out. That's inexcusable. LoL... 1

I've heard stories. Still, I'd rather have some extra entries in the Darwin Awards each year than whatever bull#### MA is pumping out of its legislature.
