Thursday, 13 November, 2025

Your home is currently grandfathered into every code statute written and approved after the day it was built. This status is a free pass for your house to just exist ... until you decide it's time to actually start remodeling.In Today's Episode You'll Hear:Why your home's grandfathered status ends the moment you start remodeling.What the building code is really for (hint: the answer is not “making your life difficult”).How code compliance requirements create design opportunities.Get the full show notes with all the trimmings at https://www.midmod-midwest.com/2216Like and subscribe at Apple | Spotify | YouTube.
