need advice regarding contractors and permits

[davemchine]

I have two projects at my house right now being performed by two different contractors. 1) new heat pump install and 2) new lighting in the kitchen. Tomorrow an inspector is coming out to look at the electrical for the heat pump and I do not expect any problems, BUT contractor number two did not finish the ceiling job on time and I now know that he isn't licensed to do electrical work.

So, when the inspector arrives and sees all the wires hanging from my ceiling what do I say? I would like to be truthful but I would also like to avoid fines or getting the contractor in trouble. Perhaps that is too much to ask. How should I handle this when the inspector arrives?

Thanks.
