ECN Forum Forums General Topics of the Trade General Discussion Area Must a Bedroom be a "Habitable" Room?

I have seen one of these "Loft/rooms" and the HO said it was a play area for their children. (I thought that strange, a play room where kids can fall out of and drop 6'-7' to the floor below.) I asked them to install receptacles as per code, just in case someone wanted to put a small light up there or vacuum the area.
