Well, you did ask for code advise and what the code requires - which is what I am giving, you did not ask Dear Abby for advise.
I guess it is subjective as if i had a fire in my bedroom i could exit out the bedroom door and then out the house or if as you say i needed another exit i could exit out the slider (the emergency exit into my lanai/pool deck area). It will be fenced in yes but will still allow you to escape the area unimpeded ...
You call escaping into a trapped in, fenced in area next to a raging fire as "but will still allow you to escape the area unimpeded"? No wonder I am not getting through to you.
I have talked to a homeowner that got his pass with the plastic OSHA barrier fence with zero gates. Thats the inspector i want.
Not really much I can say, other than 'Please send my condolences to the surviving family members when something happens'.
i know you call it progress i call it liberal beuracracy.
You have shown your political preference, and probably even feel that there should be no government intrusion into one's life ... except for that government intrusion you happen to agree with ... however, this is not a forum for political discussion, so I will let it die there
I dont need to be protected from myself.
Sounds like you do need to be protected from your self, for your families sake, but that is not a discussion for this forum either.
Again i do appreciate your oppinions but i am finding that the final inspection depends as much on the individual inpector as it does on the codes.
While the codes are intended to be enforced equally all over, yes, there are some inspectors which do not understand the full reasons and intent behind the codes and other inspectors who may understand but do not care.
My example is the emergency exit you bring up was never mentioned by a inspector
Your inspector may just not have thought about that aspect. Here is a question for you as you are so sure about what you want - ask your local inspector about that scenario and let me know what they say after thinking about that example.
Looking forward to your replay with your inspectors answer.
