Question on these questions…
When a QOD does not have the correct answer posted by the orig. poster, do we assume the answer with the most responses is the correct one ? It seems to be that way but just wondering why many of the QOD's never have the answer posted.

I would suggest that you e-mail the person that posted the questions you are referring too.

Hi to all,
this article is aimed at those vents which extend through a flat roof that is used as a roof deck, or any similar set up where the top of the vent would be required to be above head height.

Gerry,
So basically what you are saying is the deck I put up on my flat roof, I shouldn't be using the vent pipe as an ashtray??
