Building Rhyme

The foot bone's connected to the ankle bone...

Remember that rhyme?

Well, I'm learning that there's a rhyme to building inspections too.

We're putting an addition on our house for Queen B.

Progress has just been halted by the inspection rhyme. It goes like this:

Oh the framing can't be inspected 'til the electrical is. And the electrical can't be inspected 'til the plumbing is. And the plumbing can't be inspected until the inspector answers his phone.

Bureaucracy will forever be the antithesis of productivity.

Hmmm... maybe I could get a grass roots movement started in order to jump start the economy. I'll call it Productivity at the Expense of Bureaucracy (PEB for short). What do you think?
