Go down and visit the inspectors office and talk to one.
See what they think. Then you will know if they are 'hard and fast' or if they
are willing to work with you.
Inspectors are people too. Treat them well and they won't be quite
such a 'hard axx'.
In many cases I have found if you build the reputation for being a
'straight arrow' in all
things, the 'powers that be' will normally they you do whatever you
darn well please, but
you have to play their game so they cover theirs with paperwork and
they figure you
must have a good reason! ... I can give details to interested parties
if they want my details.
I worked with IRS auditors before (I worked for the company being audited).
They normally are good folk too. It helps to have
a peaceful cup of coffee with them and understand where they come
from. This way
we worked together rather than having an adversarial relationship.
That works in
a huge number of situations. :) But you have to put in the effort,
don't expect them to.

> Hi folks I'm new to papercrete and wondering about how building inspectors view this product. If I'm just using it for infill in walls do they care? Am I better off just saying its going to be a masonry wall? I know I'll need to pull permits and get work inspected. Any thoughts are appreciated.
