Cob building

[Rob Tucker]

I don't get your point. Laws and codes are not retroactive. Are you suggesting they should be?

I know people who own classic cars and have installed seat belts because it was smart and safer. Those old steel dashes were hard on the nose and head. When old grandfathered structures are renovated beyond a point they too are required to be brought up to code. People cheat on that as much as they can because the profit motive encourages them to do as little work as possible.
