Jarlaxle...afraid your'e wrong on this one...the cross section height is that of a 9.00/10.00x20, not a 22.5. And because I'm paying attention the flat lock ring is clearly evident...not the config of a 15 degree tapered rim.

Once more, from the top: my Genesis has Dayton wheels with 11R22.5 tires! We also have a couple trailers at work with 22.5" Daytons.

A 10.00-20 and an 11R22.5 are the same height.

Yeah, well anybody who profess's to be OK with Dayton wheels has dubious credibility in my world.

So you're implying that anyone that would take on such a project doesn't know what he is doing and the end result is a death trap? I wired and plumbed my 2400 sqft house almost 30 years ago and it's still standing, never even tripped a breaker. I can turn on any water outlet, flush all toilets, while two people are showering and no change in pressure or temperature. The only required inspection was windstorm and county heath.
I'm not required to hold a license in order to know and follow the codes. I did things most home builders would not because I took profit out of the equation.

As far as the bus goes; Nice work and I'm sure he is proud of his accomplishment.

That was not what he was implying. Not even a little bit. Did you pull a permit and have your work inspected?

That is exactly what he is implying!

I was not required to pull a permit or inspection for electrical or plumbing. I needed a windstorm structure permit to verify the proper clips and number of clips were installed, the toe plate was properly secured and a health permit to inspect that the septic system was properly installed. No general builder permit required either.

He never said that ANYONE who would take on a project like that wouldn't know what they are doing. He said it is SAFER to have requirements such as inspections and licensing due to the fact that SOME take on projects like that without either the knowledge of how to do it right and safely or the desire/care (sometimes both).

It must be nice to build wherever you live. I need a permit and inspection to blow my nose here.
