Attention all STAHI members,
since Dale L. was not able to attend the last meeting, we did not have the treasurer’s report.
According to Dale Lozier the treasurer:
As of 11-16-2018 the STAHI balance was $3590.70.
Dale cut 2 checks for CE courses and mailed them to Dennis to submit.
If any member has any objections, please reply within 48Hrs, otherwise the treasurer’s report will be considered accepted by all, and be added to meeting minutes from the last meeting.
Thank you

Rick Bates: Attic Access Requirements (from his 12/20/17 email)
<R807 – Attic Access
“R807.1 Attic Access. Buildings with combustible ceiling or roof construction shall have an attic access opening to attic areas that exceed 30 sq. feet and have a vertical height of 30 inches or more.”
Wooden roof framing and wooden ceiling framing constitute combustible construction so it appears that access is required provided the area is at least the size specified.
“The rough-framed opening shall not be less than 22 inches by 30 inches and shall be located in a hallway or other readily accessible location. A 30 inch minimum unobstructed headroom in the attic space shall be provided at some point above the access opening.” See Section M1305.1.3 for access requirements where mechanical equipment is located in attics.”
No only is access is required, it has specific size requirements and location of access – All good news for home inspectors!>
