Codes are enforced at finalized at the local level. We’ve only abandoned stuff at the federal level, so far.

In most cases you’ll need an inspection when you go to buy a home. Anytime you’re changing a house you have to ask yourself “Will this hurt the ability to resell it later on?” This is going to end up on an inspection report and it’s either going to have to be remedied or it’s going to drop the value.

I’m a handyman. This will not pass an inspection because it lacks the handrail necessary to be code compliant. That’s before even getting into tread width and lack of trip resistant rise.

Is the train okay?

Sunday edition

Thank you for tagging me. I’m glad I didn’t miss this, but I couldn’t do the full reply until the Sunday edition.

That’s half of what my Sunday edits are.

This will be even cuter with a little ham car.
