ah man... we gotta see all this Canadian junk now??

What you afraid we will show you up or something Tom?

I was winging to a friend the other day, who is almost done his apprenticeship, about how the building code is an organizational mess and they need to hire a good editor to index and organize it.

He then told me that his instructor mentioned that it was made difficult to referance to discourage HO's from using it as a how-to book. Makes sense kinda...

try this one.........http://www.obc.mah.gov.on.ca/Page11.aspx

I have that one it is easier to read for sure. 3 - 4" binders with the fire code ouch lol

The electrical code has a pocket reference book with it that is great. I wish the building code books had that.

LOL me too I would hate to have to haul them all over the place.

I keep the building code binder (minus the plumbing sections) in my van.

I also have a binder for all of the tiling products manufacturer's and associations instructions, a binder for all of the siding manufacturer's and associations instructions, etc... I also have the JLC best practices manuals

I basically have a mobile reference library.
I should really buy a Kindle

Here is a quickreferance from CMHC based on the National code.

Be thankful you are not a building inspector..........you need a 3/4 ton pick up to carry around all the codes!

No kidding. I can't even see carrying around the code without the plumbing section the 2006 version is 2 - 4" binders. It would be crazy to even try to keep them in my van. I think when I get busier and have more $$$ I might invest in a lap top for my van with wireless rocket stick. That way I can reference that stuff while I am on site. Of course that means I will be actually working jobs where its needed. ha ha thats the trick.

I've got the laptop and rocket stick. I thought I'd use it all the time but I hardly ever do.

Wondered about that. I will start a new thread on it.
