Again thank you all for your input, and your right, kind of a poor choice of words there. I think more like guidelines is the idea here. I don't think I was very clear on the extent of the idea. Being there are municipal inspectors in the group as well as trade professionals the codes will be protected and the public protected, I think some of you are taking this a little father than the intention. But that's mostly my fault for not being more clear on the intent at the start.
I think it's as Jerry said getting to the AHJ's would be step one. Just getting them to listen to somebody else is huge, I am totally amazed that two of them are signed on to this exploratory committee. Getting them or most of them to be just a little less domineering and godlike would be the biggest step. I don't see the intent here to rewrite the code or circumvent it in any way at all but to be reasonable on older homes. Jim I think you put it best, I think what we would be looking for is a Summary of the the laws, rules and codes, maybe with an explanation of the intent of them and maybe just maybe help or direction from the AHJ's instead of snoby abusive remarks and threats. Pretty tall task but with the diversity of interest already signed on, AHJs, Realtor Association, Builders Associations, Tradesmen and a lowly HI, obviously there is wide concern in this area. Who knows maybe it won't go anywhere maybe it's just baby steps and this is the first one. We'll see. Thank You Again for your input.
