Not to be a party pooper but does the company that underwrites your home
owner's insurance know about the wall to wall rugs in your garage? :-)

The code pretty much gives up the garage., The fire wall is between
there and the house, particularly sleeping rooms. They can't share a
wall.



How about a garage ceiling that is just below the floor of a second
story bedroom?


Mine is. What's your point? You and Don are sounding like I douse the carpets in gas and oil every
day. I don't. They actually stay pretty clean. But, if a drop or two of oil leaks on them, I don't
worry about it.

I put a sprinkler system in the house in Maryland when I put on the
addition, including 4 heads in the garage. I also sprinklered the
utility space under the foyer and that hall along with the foyer
itself since it was a choke point in the evacuation route. (from both
floors). People should really be looking at their house hard,
identifying ignition sources and imagining what a fire might do to
their evacuation plan. At this house I cut a door to the outside in
the bedroom wall. Most people do not realize that the legally required
egress route may be a second floor window. Got a ladder handy? ;-)
