A short time ago, I posted a question regarding post spacing for a post & beam storage barn I want to build. While I got some good information, I did not get the answers I was looking for in my posts.
I've gone as far as trying to get info from architects, from the University out here, lumber yards & have had no luck. I don't really want to ask the inspectors office because that could open up a can of worms not intended to be opened. On the other hand, it would probably put an answer to my question weather or not I like the answer is another issue. Have any of you needed to ask a code question or clarification of a code & actually went to the building official for the answer.
The thought of asking my question to the inspector may really end up with the inspector asking me questions instead of his answering my question. How do I deal with this situation.
