Sorry Hakan, but no I am not mixing them up. We do not have codes in this part of the country. I am free to use PVC in my house, I can use an alternative building material like pulped paper feed bags mixed with clay for my walls, or whatever else I chose to do. There is no one I have to get a permit from or account to of how I did things. I wired my own home, installed my own propane lines, [which I am removing] and built it myself.
Once upon a time I believed that building codes were there for safety, but that was a long time ago. Now I know the influence the plumber's union, architectural associations, and other have on the codes, for their profit and job security, not public safety. I am not saying that should not be certain standards for buildings in a city or anyplace where the building is open to the public, there should be. My nearest neighbor is 1/2 miles away, who's business is it how I build but mine? Bright Blessings, Kim > I think that you are mixing Building Codes with local codes for building > permits.
