I mean, this is all because, presumably in the event of an emergency, like a fire, if people needed to get out, you want to make sure that a body can get out of the house when it needs to, or, I guess presumably, a firefighter or something could get in. It was within the distance it needed to be to the ground, and the window was the right size, but the window opening was not the right square footage. And actually, we had both of those correct. Someone needs to be able to reasonably climb out of it, and it needs to be a certain size of window. It’s a specific height from the floor to the base of the window. Egress means that someone could get out of a window. What it turned out to be was little thing none of us noticed, which is called egress. I was like, “Why?! Why? We’ve been talking for a year about this being a bunk room?” It was just out of left field because all of us had known that this was planning to be this little nook for people to sleep in. That’s not under his jurisdiction.” So we thought it would be fine, but we get a call from our contractor later that Monday saying, “You guys failed, and you have to take your bunkbeds down.” But I’m like, “He’s not checking the bunkbeds. I was a little nervous because I hate leaving something half finished, and then have an inspector come through. The mattresses were kind of leaning in there randomly.
So we had laid out the bottom bunk and the top platform.
Just by coincidence, the day that he was coming out was the Monday after we were there all weekend building the bunkbeds, just starting the bunkbed construction. We tried to get this done before the holidays, but because, you know, that time is kind of weird, things slow down, and people get distracted, it just got pushed off. We also had one sort of general building permit that, to get completed, we had to had to have the inspector come through and just sort of check everything off once again. Months ago, we had all of our systems final inspected by the town inspector, you know, the plumbing, the HVAC, the electrical. So one little nagging thing we’ve had to check off the list at the pink house is getting a final inspection done. The duplex dormer story, that was something that you guys were in the thick of, but this one, we shielded you from the emotions of until now. Sherry: Sometimes you can’t talk about it. It’s one of those stories that we didn’t want to jinx by bringing it up too soon. John: We have a story for you guys about the beach house that we’ve saving because we’ve been trying to get to the end of it. Plus, John shares a favorite non-power tool, and we get decluttering tips from an expert who has spent years helping hoarders on TV. Sherry: Today, we’re sharing a beach house issue that almost forced us to bust out our freshly built bunkbeds. So welcome to Young House Love Has A Podcast, where we have deep and not-so-deep conversations about DIY, design, and life at home. John: And we like the occasional game show sound effect.
