Architect Quit What Now?

[Ben C.]

Hello,

I had the unlucky misfortune of getting a very tough building inspector on a project I'm working on. 

The building inspector is asking for specs on what type of bolts should be used to attach the lally column plates to the footing and the architect blew up (said he wasn't an engineer) and called the town and took himself off the job as the architect on record (I kid you not). 

What do I do now?
