[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My house has one. We asked the inspector how it has been sold listed as a bedroom multiple times given that it clearly doesn't meet the code, and [b]he said the house is so old it's considered "grandfathered in." [/b] Since our room in question is in a first floor, single level addition, we're planning to cut vertically into the wall to simply put in a larger window. Annoyed that this is a cost we are taking on as the buyers, but that's onr of thr compromises we had to make in this crazy market. [/quote] This. That's the case for MANY things you don't find in new homes. I had a bathroom with no exhaust fan. Why? No code requirement if you have a window. Ever try to get moisture out of your bathroom in VA in July? We have a wood burning fireplace in our MBR. Against code now. The list goes on and on. House doesn't even have to be that old, codes change every year. [/quote]
