Fine Homebuilding,
By the Way, What in the world are you thinking with your selection in the poll of "burn, baby burn"? SHAME ON YOU. Talk about slanting a poll. Of course no one wants this; but again, has NOTHING to do with life safety - ONLY dollars ...... in the insurance companies pockets; and, so the fire depts don't have to do their jobs.
This requirement will lead to nothing except more and more people building WITHOUT permits! And, more power to them! Talk about corruption. This is a great example. The ICC and "powers that be" need to be disbanded. Half the codes should be done away with, they are there for no other reason than to protect insurance companies profits. Oh, sorry, I must be a raving lunatic! I'd rather be raving than corrupted like these idiot building officials blowing smoke up our ........, well, you fill in the blank. Anyway, we don't have to worry about that, the fire sprinklers will drown us anyway before we feel the smoke up our ....... !!!!!!

Fire Sprinklers in homes is ABSURD. And yes, I AM YELLING. As an Architect I am so sick of the code "officials" climbing into bed with the fire departments and insurance companies making it more and more expensive, UNNECESSARILY, to build homes. Codes are now becoming how to keep costs down for the fire departments (because their budgets are being cut); and, the insurance companies (because they want high profits and don't want to pay out). IT IS THIS SIMPLE. This is touted as a life-saving requirement - BULL. Stop this, NOW.!!!!!!!!!
