I remember a = press conference by one of the executives from Disneyland after they did = their latest expansion; he had a small stack of pages and said " These = are the permits we needed for the original building of the park" and = then he pulled out a truly giant stack and said; "And these are the = permits we needed just for the extension on our PARKING LOT." Morale of the story; The bigger the Government, the bigger the = headaches. Kevin E.

We intend to have a rest room in the shop. Unfortunately this = presents=20 a huge problem with permitting because the county will then classify = the=20 building as a dwelling structure. The codes are a nightmare. My=20 contractor brother in law suggested an alternative plan that will = work.=20 The trick is to install the drains AFTER inspections but BEFORE=20 concrete it poured. Simply leave the plumbing a couple inches below = the=20 surface lightly covered with sand. When the inspectors are gone for=20 good we can easily break the pipes out of the concrete and continue as = planned. I asked my architect about this and he said this was a = common=20 proceedure for these types of projects and agreed. No one will ever=20 check it or care. The same goes for heating/AC. If we install AC as=20 part of the project we must hire an engineer to do a series of=20 ridiculous thermal calcs. Our architect says forget it. The loop = hole=20 is to contract a heating/cooling man to do the installation AFTER the=20 building is completed. Once the building is finished the county can = no=20 longer dictate heating and cooling requirements.
