[Greenbuilding] Powder room under stairs

[Nick Pyner]

I guess that has to depend on where the job is, and most particularly 
where the engineer is, but I have done it several times and, as long as 
the  minimum height requirements are applied, it hasn't been a problem. 
And the engineer hasn't so much as said "Boo!" I really have to wonder 
what the codes are that "don't permit"...

The only time I have had a compliance issue was when I went cheapskate 
with some flexible ventilation duct.
