Plumbing through fire wall

Oh I understand the rules and agree with them to a point but we're talking about a 2-5 cm range which in average is only 1 inch short. Based on the fact that there is more than sufficient spacing between houses overall, that building extensions goes against community policies and sheds have to be located in back yard (so it's impossible to shorten the overall distance unless the neighbors house is torn down and rebuilt wider), and that my house if fully sprinklered there is no way I'm putting anyone at more risk than the average house in the city. I've talked to a few people who were granted relaxations for much worse conditions and all the county requires for my relaxation is permission from the building inspector who obviously doesn't know that much on this particular issue or subject. Hence if I don't laugh at him I'd probably do something much worse

if I was down there I would help you out with some of the issues.. That is what I do. Sometimes inspectors do not know the ins & outs of the code. Heck sometimes I don't know the ins & outs. And the code is always open to interpetation it seems.
