Nick,

The following three questions from the quiz puzzle me. Why are the first two correct and the third wrong? Just trying to clear things up in my head.

The minimum height of an egress opening is
44 inches.
34 inches.
54 inches.
24 inches. (correct) (2 FOOT???)

The minimum width of an egress opening is
10 inches.
30 inches.
20 inches. (correct) (1 FT 8 INCHES???)
5.7 feet.
44 inches.

A 2 foot by 2 foot egress opening is (24 inches by 24 inches???)
too small. (correct)
fine.

Nick,

Is there a particular link to a page listing all the mini-courses one can choose from? If not can a page be made doing so. I would like to encourage all our chapter members to take them all.

W. Michael Chris:

Even though an opening meets the width and height requirements it still has to be 5.7 square feet or 5.0 feet if opening to grade level.

You need a tape measure, pencil & paper. Measure then multiply to make sure it complies, and always verify it's operation is smooth and opens completely.Especially when the seller has painted the house, since they are selling the house, very few clean the paint out of the tracts and lubricate them. It goes without saying, that clearence is useless if the windows don't open.
