I know this is a code issue but also a huge safety issue. I could but that would defeat the purpose tell you were it is in nec.
I know where it is. Look for it. Its there.
Dishwasher garbage disposal handtie. Those are your clues.
Why I have a problem
There is an out everywhere in suggested contracts .
Not responsible for this that and everything.
Dont do this or that.
And as far as code. Mite have been able to use excuse before that ther are many.
There until 06 3 model codes for us. Not any more. Why uniform code was dummied to allow conformity with other 2.
And as far as each jurisdiction.kinda.
There are 3 situations
1Topigraphiphical such as expansive soils
2 geographical
3 climatical- which you see in zones for energy codes.
You have federal regs. Must allways meet min requirements of
- State then local.
Can always make more stringent at each level- local more stringent than state, state more stringent than federal- but allways must not bay or might but must-shall meet with no exceptions meet minimum requirements of code.
I understand resoning of not being code experts, would take another 2 yr min to be certified in all 4 trades.
But there are few things you have to know about 100 each trade. Have to . Electrical. 2100 1 125 1/0 150 2/0 200 amp se cunductor for residential panel. Off top of your head.
And another pet peave.
Person teaching classes. 1 is commercial electrician and icc certified so he should know. Why am i correcting his mistakes
Q. How many grounding rod(s) required? There is your clue.
Unless what? And why are 2 gave the answer. Costs 25 k for equipment to prove circumstance and instead of owning equipment drive another rod.
And please, in the future. At least when you are dealing with me, since I have taken my time to give you alittle insite, education, take it as so and learn.
Dont make the same mistakes as all the building officials i worked for. I either got fired or for 3p days everyday at end of day. Got these calls from angry contractors wanting to know why. I would so them. After 3p days. Did same thing. Your job to know. I know where you look it up. Most times they were lazy but allays tell them he is write.
I would not tell you something that is wrong.
I would if asked tell you i dont know get rite back with answer.
Not that i am always rite but always have to rite thing.,
Now just a little of who i am. Could have went there right of way.
Not bragging so dont go there. God blessed me analytical and memeory. I will take credit with always learning trying to improve my game.
I graduated top of my class at top building inspection technology program in us. with not a 56 unit cert but an actual degree in bit
All building officials in nor ca are graduates of butte college.
Only person to graduate in 17 yr with 4.0
Not always rite. Do make mistakes very few. When i do never do again make a big one never ever forget.
My certs alone make me top 1 % in the industry.
1- contractors become home inspectors 2- engineers who do their trade for inspections. 3 jurisdictional inspectors their specific trade and building cert.4and the 1% i refer to is top 1% of the best. 3 and 4. Not the best nobody ever is unless you are my sister bowler best in world man or woman. Top few in the world in inspection field.
I can make that claim. Ok to brag dont like to. Except for this instance. Could have got nasty tried not to. Ok to brag if you can back your play. I can.
Correct engineers all the time. How i got job los angeles c
So look it up. Gave you clues. Learn 2 things. Actually 3. The code. Where to find it. And unless you are 100% sure you are riteeven then you mite not be. Dont try to make someone wrong expecially when he is not.
Ask hcd in ca about me 2004 woodside homes. 3000 + model D. at 2999 only 1 exit door required at 3000 sq ft requires 2. You and all inspectors should know this. Occupant load of 1 per 300 sq ft. Occupant load of 10 sfh requires 2 exit doors.
Why important.
Building science? Thats rite. Codes fire life safety issues. Minimum requirements.
Houses and commercial design requirements. #1 thing tops everything. What is that. Get em in and expecially get em out as safetly quickly as possible.
Lilltle more education.
Why are structures in the even of a disaster. More damage now than design 100 yr ago.
Weebles wooble but dont fall down effect. Not design not to withstand damage. Designed not to because of a force to fail structuraly to prevent occupants from getting out of building.
Why i argue with code officials and engineers who have attitude sfh ah this and that wrong.
Not a possesion but what or better yet who sleeps in that sfh that is most important thing in world. Children. Commercial buildings have all kinds of failsafes. Fire alarms and systems. Fire draft walls 123 and 4 hr firewalls occupancy and area seperation walls and openings allowed or not allowed.
But my children sleep in sfh. Use 40 tube of fire caulk on that 1 hr seperation wall on modified 1 side so half hour rated firewall garage seperation… and better transition from plastic to metal 24 in each side of that wall. No exceptions.
Dont take personal i didnt. Wasnt trying to show superiority just trying to educate a little in our brief time crossing each others path in this universe. Have any questions you or anybody else in the future get ahold of me.
I love to talk code or science. Building
