Basement Framing Inspection - What a building inspector might look for

Do egress windows need to be in a bedroom for the basement?

To be considered a legal bedroom it needs an egress window

Thanks…but why no mention about vertical and horizontal fire blocking? Do you have another video covering that?

[@buildingcodetips]

Great question! There is a video on fire-blocking and draft-stopping that should be released soon. I have had to redo it a few times so it’s taking longer than I had hoped.

@@buildingcodetipsFantastic news since I trust what you have to say on the subject and need answers for my basement renovation. Thank you.

@@Trainman0401 Awesome! I am glad the videos are helping. The video on fire blocking and draft stopping should drop early this week.
