Gentlemen, thanks again for your warm responses. Paul: You are correct about the word "honeymoon". I believe that the thoughts were that upon marriage a couple would be given mead in the hopes of birthing a son. Nine months later, which was known to this particular culture (I don't remeber which, assyrians maybe) as a moon cycle.
Electure: You don't need to tell me, I'll tell you!!! Actually Salt Lake is a little more liberal than Provo. Thanks again.

Belated congrats T.G.

Paul, thanks for the "where did the term come from" lesson.

Ryan,
Welcome to ECN, mate!.
Good to have you along.
Paul, Mead used to be drank a lot in the UK, back in the Middle Ages, didn't it?.

Yep -- It seems to be mentioned as a popular drink quite widely in many of the classics, Shakespeare, Chaucer,etc.

Ryan,

Nice to have you on the board. It is also good to have someone with other experience beside electrical work. I have a couple of questions for you. Which building code does your state follow? Here in NJ we just went to the International Residential Building Code.(IRBC) We use to use BOCA or CABO, however now under the IRBC, there is no limit to garages. Under BOCA the limit was set at 4 garages in a residental dwelling. Under the new code, it can allow more than 4 and I don't feel that this code is very safe. Any thoughts?

Um, if you can walk me through this, I'll put in a pic too! <smiles for the camera>

lil suzi,

Send me your picture via email, I'd be happy to post it here. (anyone else too!)

Hello Harold. We were one of the first states to adopt the international family of codes, and yes, we also use the international residential code. As far as garages go, I'm not sure I follow you 100%. Are you talking about 4 garages on one lot/property? If so, you are right, the IRC doesn't care how many garages you have. Your local planning/zoning department will care, however. As far as safety goes, I don't see any hazards, assuming that the code is followed. We came from Uniform Building Code land, and used to require a fire rated seperation between the garage and living space, if attatched to each other, with a hour one wall. This is no longer a requirement. My e-mail address is Ryan@draper.ut.us Feel free to e-mail me any code questions you might have and I'll do my best to help you out with them
