How painful (difficult) will it be to get a building permit for a 10 ft. extension on a house in Scranton? Correct me if I am wrong...(please someone): My understanding is the home owner can do the work himself as long as he has a licensed and city certified ( not sure of the correct termology) plumber and or electrican do any of that type of work. I do not believe any variances will be needed, the extension will not be near any property lines...but "blowing out the back wall" 10ft into a 100ft. deep lot.

I am also curious about inspections because my understanding is some city (city positions) inspectors do not have creditentals?...

Any info is greatly appreciated!
