Funny Permit Form


Thought I'd share this section of a local municipality's permit application form:

901 (B) ELECTRICAL EXEMPTION AFFIDAVIT


Applicant __________________________________________________ _____________

Address __________________________________________________ ______________


Religious Sect __________________________________________________ _________


I, __________________________________________ do hereby affirm that I am a member of the _______________________________________ religious sect which has established tenets or teachings which conflict with the electrical provision of the Uniform Construction Code and that as a member of the _________________________________ sect I adhere to the established tenets or teachings. I further affirm that the residential structure on the above mentioned property will be used solely as a residence for myself and my household. I understand that in receiving an exemption for a dwelling unit under Section 901 (B) of the Act and subsequently sell or lease the dwelling unit, that I shall bring the dwelling unit into compliance with the provision of the Uniform Construction Code for which an exemption is granted.

Signature of Applicant _____________________________

Re: Funny Permit Form


Is that for an Amish house with no electricity?

Re: Funny Permit Form


Must have something similar to allow no plumbing.

When you remove the HVAC, electricity, and plumbing from a house, you're talking a substantial amount of money.

You're also talking about no light to read a magazine while siting on the crapper.

Not true. No plumbing in the house doesn't mean you can't do like me; keep a whale oil lamp in the privy.

'Course, catching those whales and rendering 'em down is a bit of a trick here in central PA.

Re: Funny Permit Form


I worked on one Amish house, they did have indoor plumbing as well as radiant hydronic floor heat.

I think the well pump was run off a diesel generator.

They are allowed to use electricity in that fashion, just not connected to the grid.

Another interesting tidbit: since they don't have electric to run a vacuum cleaner they do the whole house in vinyl flooring.
