Actually,this sounds like one of those egg crate ceilings from the days
when eggs were much larger than the chicken could handle.Like
DINASAURS.Yea,call it a "Prehistoric" egg crate ceiling with 99% opening
so as not to impede the discharge of the automatic fire suppression
system installed at the roof above (as it should be).This makes about as
much sense as the AHJ calling it an obstruction.Millions of qualified
people out of work and along comes this idiot creating unnecessary
trouble for some poor Joe (or Dale) just trying to make a living!Go
figure!

Subject: Re: Open-Grid Ceilings
That's a good idea but hardly moron proof. This particular AHJs
logic: If
the drop out tiles are not there then it must be a "fake" ceiling
(this was
a term used in a contract I just read not more than three hours ago)
and
whether fake or not it's still a ceiling and a ceiling that's not
there is
still an obstruction because the word exists in my mind. (To steal a
line
from a commercial) This makes perfect sense if you don't think about
it.

Why not just call it a "Drop Out Ceiling" with the tiles dropped
out? (Or
just protect it as if it had drop out panels?)

Ron,
I started looking for definitions but couldn't find anything to help
the
cause. It would have been great to have it in 13 like the Drop-Out
Ceiling.
The Architect had it labeled as grid only / no tiles and I left that
note
on
the drawing.
The contractor has suggested to not install the grid.
