My brother lives in Waukesha County, Wisc and told me he can't remodel
his basement without putting in an auxiliary exit. I find this hard to
believe. Can anyone confirm this?

TIA, J


That's the way it is in my county.. No exceptions. At least if you
want to call it finished living space. There's probably no reason you
can't put a couch and a big screen TV in a "storage room".


When did this ridiculous rule get passed? All new houses have to have 2
stairways from the basement?
