Sometimes there are too many building codes, when they are silly. But some of those codes one doesn't have to pay attention to as much: Requiring grounded plugs with minimal construction standards. If you just buy your stuff, you won't have to worry about the construction standards of your outlet unit, merely that you buy the grounded sort. "Absolutely no common sense is used for exceptions" To me, this looked more like ignorance on both sides. If the inspector has no real training in construction, all he really has is the code - the stickers for the wood (for example). And the man building should have checked codes upfront to see what he needed to do to work around it.
