I had every intention of using pylex screw piles to save time & money and do it myself.

However when I was applying for my permit, it clearly said that if you plan on using anything other than concrete piles, you have to have an engineer report first. I emailed them to clarify, and they replied that I need an engineer report, and it needs to be installed by a pro to pass inspection.

I figure screw that, so I wrote the planes with concrete piles and will go that route.

I think they are being pedantic, but they have the biggest gang so we play by their rules.
