To me, something "with good design intention" means they fell short of the goal for good design.

They're not always allowed. Jerome J.

I ran into that here in CA OSHA 1910.24 - Fixed Industrial Stairs has a table of "Angle of Stairway Rise" under 1910.24(e) Ronald L.

They are reviewing the book to see if it has potential. Should know within about a month.

Sounds like you did my book as a last resort, but then I know you enjoyed it and benefited from it. I wondered why my royalty check was so big!

I thought I'd found them all--I guess I missed one. Thanks. Ron Geren, FCSI, AIA, CCS, CCCA, SCIP www.specsandcodes.com Jerome J.

In fact I have started reading my first book since yours came out - "Crazy - A Father's Search Through America's Mental Health Madness", it is not a novel nor about architecture, but unless you have one very close to you having to deal with mental health on a daily basis, you would not understand. I hope the ending is not a cliff hanger, I've had enough of those. So for now instead of doing my nightly crossword puzzle before bed, I will be reading.

I bet you get more out of reading than you do in doing dead-end crossword puzzles [which are fine for short term amusement] Wish you well in your daily trial. Jerome J.

As mentioned previously code compliance for the installation may be an issue.
