Re: New Pool Build in Central Texas because of Big Green Egg
Here is the latest to get to code or I won't pass the final inspection that I am furious about because it doesn't make sense.....
If you look at the enclosed picture take a look at the 2 windows to the right of the picture that are at the corner of the area of the house that juts out and where the steps end. The inspector said that since we raised the deck there and there are stairs, the bottom windows are less than 5 feet from the ground and we need to put tempered glass there. I said on the window on the right, there is no stairs there and is not a walkway, it is over a garden. He said it doesn't matter, it is close to the stairway. I said the only way someone could hit that window is to launch down the stairs and then make a left turn in the air to hit it. He said it didn't matter.
First quote to replace just the bottom panel of these 2 windows is $520 dollars. We are at the point where we feel like giving up......
I thought that Ontario had become a nanny state with all the rules and regulations our governments foist upon us but compared to what you are facing we are living in a Libertarian paradise up here.
