Basement Bedroom Window Requirements

 Moved from evernote. Last edited 12/14/23

The openable portion of a bedroom window must have a minimum dimension of 5.7 square feet, unless the sill is lower than the outside grade level. In that case, the overall dimension must be at least 9 square feet. The width of window openings must be no less than 24 inches and the height no less than 20 inches. If the windowsill in a basement bedroom is lower than the outside grade level, there must be an exterior window well that meets an additional list of minimum size requirements.

Windowsills in any bedroom must be no higher than 44 inches above the floor, although lower sills were often allowed in older homes. In a basement bedroom, sill heights can exceed 44 inches if there is a permanently installed ladder or stairway to the window opening.

As a source for natural light, the area of the window, according to the Uniform Building Code (UBC), must be no less than one-tenth of the room’s floor area. In municipalities subject to the International Residential Code (IRC), this requirement is only 8 percent of the floor area.

As a source of exterior ventilation, the UBC requires the area of the window opening to be no less than one-twentieth of the room’s floor area. According to the IRC, only 4 percent of the floor area is required.

1T molasses

Found this on facebook reels https://www.facebook.com/reel/1121246786926797 I thought it would be a good quick soy sauce recipe. Then I started reading the comments and it sounded like it was more like teriyaki

I don't know if I would use the below recipe.. if I did I would definitely cutting it in half. 

Combine in a jar

1/2c molasses

1t salt

1t black pepper

1t ginger

2T vinegar

1c warm/hot water

Stir

Fountain Pens

 These are the fountain pens and ink I have.  It is also my wish list.

Ink I want and what I have

Black	Jinhao cartridge, Diamine Earl Grey
Blue	--
Purple	Karkos Violet, Bombay Violet
Turquoise	Karkos Turquoise, Diamine Aurora Borealis
Green	--
Dk Orange	--
Dr Red	Diamine Writers Blood

I might want to have more vibrant green and a dark green

This is what I was thinking about for which color ink into pens I have

Black	Majohn mini <EF>, clear
Blue	Jinhao 82 <EF> Blue Glass Lily
Purple
Turquoise	Jinhao 82 <EF> Demonstrator Green Tea
Green	Platinum Preppy <F>, translucent green
Dk Orange	Lanbitou 3062 <M> brass
Dr Red	Pilot Kakuno <F>, clear

I feel like I still need a pen for purple and turquoise and the Jinhao 82 Green Tea should have a dark green ink.
