I was trying to investigate or codes (Do we have to have all the signs up that say how many people can be in each room, etc. Every person had a different response. I have a friend who buys and sells real estate, and she says the same thing -- read the code yourself and sit there and make them explain to you why something is necessary. If you don't read the code and question the inspectors and the zoning people, you will be in deep do-do because allowing them to code you one way will lead to other code requirements down the line. In California in the 70s when people were going out into the country to build their own houses, they found all sorts of ways to get around the code. One person followed the code for a boat house. She was out in the middle of a huge field and her house was up on 10 ft stilts but she had her house.
