I agree that any good design has 3-way switches in both attics and basements, but that's not what the Code says. That's all I was getting at. Often times I run into a staircase to an attic that has no walls built up in the attic and something has to be built to accomidate (sp?) the switch. Otherwise the switch gets mounted in the roof joists. And if the staircase comes up in the middle of the attic, and the ceiling is 10' well then where do I put my switch? I do alot of spec houses and often times the bare minimum is all that gets done in these homes. Very rarely do I meet the homeowners afterwards.
