Electrical Inspector, Round 2

Okay, this guy's starting to get on my last nerve. It was known last week that he was supposed to come by today for a follow-up inspection. I wanted to have the door unlocked early so he'd be able to get in if no one was there. Since I get up around 7:45, I asked my dad to go over and unlock the place at 7AM.

He did that. The door was unlocked and the alarm was turned off at 7:00. My electrician just called at 9:10 to say the inspector claims he went by and the door was locked! Now come on. Either he went by before the sun came up, or he just couldn't get up onto the back patio by himself (my electrician had to help the old guy up last time...) so he's claiming it was locked.

He was given my electrician's number to call in case there was trouble. He didn't call until after he left. Now, I don't know if they're gonna try and charge me for another visit, but I'll fight that notion. They know the place is locked up. They can't come by in the dark of night without calling anyone to meet them and expect it to be open. How unreasonable is that? I even made an effort to have it open before business hours for them. If I'm going to leave it unlocked overnight so he can come before his first cup of coffee, then what's the use of me having a lock on the door?! :(
