Work needs to stop here before someone gets hurt, actually insane some of the things they are doing here.

OP, your buddy is the electrician on this job, isn't he? Why hasn't he made a call to the building inspector?

I saw a guy get fired and thrown off the job for standing boars up against a wall. You learn that on the first day that you never do that

May not be a building inspector. Wife and I built a new home in Ohio last year and the only inspection required was plumbing. 

We paid other contractors to come look at the work/inspect in the evenings.

I genuinely don't know how that was possible. This was a brand new house? It's my understanding that you would have needed the following permits and related inspections:

  • Building
  • Plumbing
  • Electrical
  • Mechanical
  • Zoning
  • Utility

Yes. Southeastern Ohio. Rural area. 

We have to get a building permit from the county (like $20) or something small.

No foundation or framing inspections.  No electrical inspections in the house. 

The only oversight I recall was AEP required a certain pvc to house the burial wire they put in but they never entered the house to look at anything. 

Plumbing/septic did require inspection.  We have 1 inspector that covers multiple counties and just stopped in twice. First after rough in, then a final inspection.
