    Vegas Paul

    just watched a report on Paul on Good Morning America this morning. He made the big time! He had a beautiful wife and what appeared to be a beautiful life. If he did the deed he should share eternity with the ISIS dbags.

    Napa area Aug 24 2014

    surprised that no onehas mentioned the real victims here. We should observe a moment of silence for the thousands of bottles of wine that fell to their premature demise off of usecured shelves.

    You Call It

    Our energy codes require the first 5' of water line (hot and cold) from the water heater be insulated. You can put your hand on the piping and feel the heat from the tank. The insulation supposedly prevents this heat dissipation and thus saves you money. The insulation is combustible and...

    Detectable Warnings

    I was told at a recent seminar for Casp studiers that "hazardous" should be ignored in that section because it creates a grey area in enforcement. He insisted that a car backing out of a parking space can be considered hazardous and domes required. Do you make judgement calls for these...

    Dueling Casps, what to do?

    i believe the decision falls soley on the ahj. The building standards commission and the state architects office shape the $hitstorm and hang the ahj out to dry interpretating the "language" of the code. The ahj can toss it to an appeals board if all else fails in order to resolve conflicts or...

    Dueling Casps, what to do?

    I recommend that the word "hazardous" be eliminated from the code because it creates a grey area for enforcement. Who decides if the situation is hazardous enough to warrant the dreaded domes? Could a couple of Franklins in an envelope make a hazardous vehicular way safe? Don't like it one bit...

    Dueling Casps, what to do?

    mark, Plan checked under the 2010 cbc but if they aren't required in the new cbc per ADA guy then I won't require them. Oh yeay just where would I find that in the new code?

    Dueling Casps, what to do?

    truncated dome location is the issue. Instead of locating them in a 300' long line where the vehicular way meets a sidewalk and is flush, the proposal is to surround the entry/ exit doors with a U shaped configuration. Me,My guy and several other CASP say no but there is one who will put it in...

    Dueling Casps, what to do?

    doing a plan check for a box store and I made a call that the archi did not like regarding ada stuff. I said get a casp to approve it with name number etc,,, The archi succeeded to get a favorable response after several tries. The situation is a grey area at best and I would not want to be this...
