Yep- not that I feel at all qualified to do that, but good to know just in case.

We have had similar sorts of 'provisions' in Florida with respect to licensure. In fact, anything to do with building codes requires some courses on knowing what is in the Florida version of UBC - the course is mostly administrative and nature and highlights some of the critical provisions. Bottom line, you gotta get the job done when you have problems on THAT scale.
