Azek? Who installs Azak? PVC is toxic plastic. I hope you're not breathing the stuff.

Let's face it, the Code is a publishing company that puts out a book for profit. Your local government adopts the book and makes it law. You have no access to the law as written unless you pay the publishing company their money.

The whole thing stinks! Laws on the books should be freely accessable to the public. How else would you know if you're breaking the law?

I suggest we sue the publisher for collusion with the manufacturers. Any hot young lawyers looking to make a name out there?

I agree with Mike Guertin, the real issue is shifting the cost of firefighting. If my town can close one fire station or lose one pension they save loads of money.

It’s similar to the earthquake codes where the issue isn’t life safety but that the structure must be habitable after an event.

Money would be better spent on 5/8” drywall, fire resistant siding, and eliminating eave vents.

Put me down in the “what a sham” category
