I'm just your average anti-authoritarian righteously indignant homeowner who knows more than anybody else. I found your forum while researching residential codes. This forum has the best information I've found so far. The forum's hivemind knows all of the relevant places to look in the codes, which is pretty valuable to me since even though I'm familiar with dry, technical content; it still takes a great deal of time to search for things, and makes an authoritative search practically impossible (especially if you don't know what to search for). It's also nice to learn the reasons for some of the codes which one might otherwise like to dismiss because we think they shouldn't apply to our use case.
Additionally, I found this "average day" thread by ICE/Tiger to have enough entertainment and educational value to come back again and again. Especially since, in addition to all of my other wonderful personality traits, I'm also very "efficient**" in my home repairs. The photos in that thread have inspired me to be less-so.
Anyway, thanks for having an open community of code inspectors, professional contractors, engineers, architects, other experts, and homeowners. I'll try not to junk the place up too badly.
